Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
No genetic toxicity study with zinc dipropionate is available, thus the genetic toxicity will be addressed with existing data on its two individual moieties zinc and propionate.
Zinc dipropionate is not expected to be genotoxic, since its two moieties zinc and propionate have not shown a genotoxic activity.
Please refer to the section for the respective assessment entity for data on the moieties.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
Additional information
Zinc dipropionate is not expected to be genotoxic, since its two moieties zinc and propionate have not shown a genotoxic activity. Further testing is not required. For further information on the toxicity of the individual moieties, please refer to the relevant sections in the IUCLID and CSR.
Justification for classification or non-classification
As the two moieties of zinc dipropionate do not have a genotoxic activity, zinc dipropionate in all probability has also no potential to induce genotoxic effects.
According to the criteria of REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 and its subsequent adaptions, zinc dipropionate does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for germ cell mutagenicity.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
