Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
adopted in 1992
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
analytical purity not reported
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid GMPT study was available before REACH came into force, therefore no additional LLNA study was conducted.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Intradermal:
Two animals were administered intradermal injections (2 injection / animal) of a 5% v/v concentration of test substance in propylene glycol, one on either side of the spinal column. The concentration tested did not produce extensive tissue damage or severe systemic toxicity.

Topical:
4 animals were tested at 4 different concentrations (25, 50, 75% v/v; 100%) per animal (one concentration/site), two on either side of the spinal column. 24 h and 48 h after removal of the patches no signs of erythema and edema were observed for at any of the concentration tested.
