Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
intradermal
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
5% for a intradermal induction and a 100% concentration for the epidermal induction exposure
Challengeopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
5% for a intradermal induction and a 100% concentration for the epidermal induction exposure
No. of animals per dose:
Intradermal injections:
10 in test group, 5 controls

Epidermal application:
Two different concentrations were applied (0.5 ml each) per animal to the clipped flank, using Metalline patches
Challenge controls:
During induction, the control animals were treated as described for the experimental animals except that, instead of the test substance, vehicle alone was administrated. All animals underwent the challenge
