Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
other: No data but whole body exposure was typically conducted.
Vehicle:
other: unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on inhalation exposure:
Two 1-hour exposures of 4 male rats/exposure to vapor of the test material generated at room temperature (calculated to contain 1.6 and 1.5 mg/l based on weight of samples before and after exposures).
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
not specified
Duration of exposure:
1 h
Concentrations:
1.6 and 1.5 mg/L
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4 male rats/exposure
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Two 1-hour exposures of 4 male rats/exposure to vapor of the test material generated at room temperature (calculated to contain 1.6 and 1.5 mg/l based on weight of samples before and after exposures). Observations and body weight were recorded and a gross pathological examination was conducted 2 weeks post-treatment.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Not applicable
Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 1.6 mg/L air
Exp. duration:
1 h
Remarks on result:
other: Two 1-hour exposures
Mortality:
None
Clinical signs:
other: Slight, transient eye irritation. At the end of the exposure period the rats were somewhat excitable. However, all rats appeared healthy and gained weight during the 2-week observation period.
Body weight:
All rats appeared healthy and gained weight during the 2-week observation period.
Gross pathology:
No lesions attributable to exposure to the test material were observed upon gross pathological examination 2 weeks after exposure.
Other findings:
None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Two 1-hour exposures of 4 male rats/exposure to vapor of the test material generated at room temperature resulted in slight, transient eye irritation. There were no mortalities of test animals. No lesions attributable to exposure to the test material were observed upon gross pathological examination 2 weeks after exposure.
Executive summary:

Two 1-hour exposures of 4 male rats/exposure to vapor of the 1,1-diphenylethane test material (reference 31525 and a clear, colorless liquid) generated at room temperature (calculated to contain 1.6 and 1.5 mg/l based on weight of samples before and after exposures) resulted in slight, transient eye irritation. At the end of the exposure period the rats were somewhat excitable. However, all rats appeared healthy and gained weight during the 2-week observation period. No lesions attributable to exposure to the test material were observed upon gross pathological examination 2 weeks after exposure. The LC50 for 1,1-diphenylethane was > 1.6 mg/L air.
