Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

The substance has low acute toxicity following oral administration or dermal application, with LD50 values greater than 5000 mg/kg bw. It is not irritating either for the skin or eyes and has no sensitising potential. On this basis no acute DNELs, either for systemic or local effects were considered necessary.

Based on a complete set of in-vitro studies including gene mutation in bacterial and mammalian cells and a chromosome aberration test, all negative, it is concluded that the substance has no genotoxic properties.

In a fully compliant OECD 422 study, neither adverse systemic effects nor adverse effects on reproduction, fertility and development of offspring were noted up to an including the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day. This endpoint as been chosen as the most appropriate for setting long-term systemic DNELs.

Additional information - General Population

The same endpoint used for setting long-term systemic DNELs for workers has been used for the general population. The increased AF for intraspecies sensitivity is considered to be sufficiently protective, given the low toxicity of the substance.
