Description of key information
A study conducted with a TDI polyurea grease thickener is read across to members of the polyurea MDI category.
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant dose-related increases in the mutant frequency at any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation, in either the first or second experiment.
The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic to L5178Y cells under the conditions of the test.
Additional information
A study conducted with a TDI polyurea grease thickener is read across to members of the polyurea MDI category.
The study was conducted according to a method that was designed to assess the potential mutagenicity of the test item on the thymidine kinase, TK +/-, locus of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line. The method was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No.476 "In Vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Tests", Method B17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, the US EPA OPPTS 870.5300 Guideline, and be acceptable to the Japanese METI/MHLW guidelines for testing of new chemical substances.
Two independent experiments were performed. In Experiment 1, L5178Y TK +/- 3.7.2c mouse lymphoma cells (heterozygous at the thymidine kinase locus) were treated with the test item at six dose levels, in duplicate, together with vehicle (solvent) and positive controls using 4-hour exposure groups both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (2% S9 final concentration). In Experiment 2, the cells were treated with the test item at six dose levels using a 4‑hour exposure group in the presence of metabolic activation (1% S9 final concentration) and a 24‑hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation.
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant dose-related increases in the mutant frequency at any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation, in either the first or second experiment. The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic to L5178Y cells under the conditions of the test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Members of the MDI category are not classified based on the results from in vitro and in vivo studies.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
