Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

Data on skin sensitising are available for 2-butyloctan-1-ol (C12), 2 -octyldodecan-1-ol (C20) and a mixture of the two C20 isomers 2-octyldodecan-1-ol and 2 -hexyltetradecan-1-ol. All substances showed no skin sensitising effects in the guinea pig. As all substances of the Guerbet alcohols category have the same structure with no additional functional groups only

differing in carbon chain lengths the whole category is regarded as not sensitising.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data are conclusive but not sufficient for classfication of Reaction mass of 2-hexyldodecan-1-ol and 2-octyldecan-1-ol with regard to skin sensitisation.

There are data lacking for the classification of Reaction mass of 2-hexyldodecan-1-ol and 2-octyldecan-1-ol with regard to respiratory sensitisation.
