Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute toxicity

Benzyl propionate is non acute toxicity to oral, dermal and inhalation routes investigated by estimation and 

 

Irritation / corrosion

In vivo studies of the substance show that the substance is non irritating to skin and eyes, and so the substance is not classified in any category for skin and eye as per the regulation.

 

Sensitisation

Maximization test was carried out with 4% (2760 µg/cm2) benzyl propionate in petrolatum on 25 healthy males. On evaluation of the challenge site at 48 and 72 hrs no sensitization reactions were observed. Thus suggesting that benzyl propionate was non sensitizing to skin in humans

DNEL derivation

 

Benzyl propionate is non acute toxic to dermal oral and inhalation route, do not show irritation effect to skin and eye, is not genotoxic and is not a developmental or reproductive toxin.

 

In the absence of local effects following short-term or long-term exposure, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for local exposure are therefore not calculated.

 

In the absence of acute systemic toxicity, no dose-response data are available and a quantitative dose descriptor is not derived. DNEL values for acute systemic effects are therefore not calculated.

 

A standard approach to deriving DNEL values would be to use the reproductive toxicity dataset and apply assessment factors as described in ECHA guidance documents. The critical endpoint is considered to be the NOAEL of 1613.33 mg/m3bw/d in oral category.
