Main study:
Intracutaneous induction: After one hour, weak effects were observed in 7 of 20 treated animals and none of the control animals. 24 h after treatment, 11 of 20 treated animals showed weak effekts and again none of the control animals.
Epicutaneous induction: After one hour, weak up to moderate skin reactions were observed in 16 of 19 treated animals (one died after exposure) and in 7 of 10 control animals. 24 h later mostly weak effects were observed in 10 treated animals and in 2 of the control animals.

No deaths occured. No significant differences in the gain of body weight was observed between treatment and control group.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
A Guinea pig maximization test was performed according to OECD Guideline 406 on the source substance Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters.
20 test and 10 control animals (Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs) were induced with 25% substance solution and challenged with a 50% test substance solution. 24 and 48 hours after termination of challenge exposure skin readings revealed no indications of a skin sensitising potential of the source substance Fatty acids, C16-18, 2-ethylhexyl esters. In a second test performed according to OECD Guideline 406 the source substance 2-ethyl-hexylester with fatty acids C8-C14 was not sensitising to guinea pigs.
Also the possible metabolite 2 -butyloctan-1 -ol was not sensitising in an OECD 406 -test.
Therefore it is likely that also the test substance has no skin sensitising properties.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
All the available studies on source substances showed no skin sensitising effects. The target substance is not expected to be skin sensitising.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
All the available studies on source substances showed no skin sensitising effects. The target substance is not expected to be skin sensitising.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The source substances had no skin sensitising properties. Therefore a classification according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is not required.
