Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Lintine discs having a diameter of 1 1/4 inches were saturated with methylene dianiline dissolved in Dowanol 50B. The
patches were applied every other day for 15 applications to the skin of the fifty subjects. Results were graded and recorded
upon removal of the patches. Twenty-four hours after removal of the patches, the sites were examined for delayed reactions. The material was originally patched as a 5% solution in Dowanol 50B. After the second application, the concentration was reduced to 2 1/2%. Following the fourth appllcation, the concentration was further reduced to 1% in 50B for the remalning number of applications.
Following a two week recuperation period after the removal of the fifteenth application, the methylene dianiline as a 1% solution in Dowanol 50B was re-applied for twenty-four hours. Results were graded and recorded upon removal of the patches.
Twenty-four hours after removal, the sites were examined for delayed reactions.
