Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Findings for the intact skin sites:
At the 24-h reading slight spreading erythema was found in two animals and severe spreading erythema in one animal. At the 72-h reading one animal showed an increase to severe spreading erythema, the findings for the two other animals remained the same. At the 8-d reading very slight to slight erythema and spreading desquamation was seen in the three animals. Regarding edema development, one animal showed slight edema at the 24 and 48-h readings, which was reversibel within 8 days. One animal showed severe edema at the 24-h reading and slight edema at the 48-h and the 8-d reading, whereas the third animal did not show signs of edema until and including the 8-d reading time point.
Findings for the abraded skin sites:
With the exception of one animal showing severe spreading desquamation, findings for erythema were the same as on the intact skin sites. Slight to severe edema was seen in two animals at the 24-reading. At the 72-h reading all three animals showed edema (very slight-slight). In one animal this finding was reversible within 8 days, whereas in another animal it remained slight and in the third one it declined to very slight. The primary irritation value calculated was ca. 4.1
