Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
- Age at study initiation: 7-12 weeks

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
other: acetone
Concentration:
10, 20 or 40 %
No. of animals per dose:
according to OECD 429 test guideline
Details on study design:
Animals were exposed topically on the dorsum of both ears to 25 µL of test material or to an equal volume of the relevant vehicle alone. Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after the initiation of exposure, all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 µL of phosphate-buffered saline containing 20 µCi of tritiated thymidine. The mice were sacrificed 5 hours later, and the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group or each individual animal. The incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by beta scintillation counting was reported in disintegrations per minute. An SI was calculated for each chemical-treated group as the ratio of the disintegrations per minute in the treated group (or mean disintegrations per minute when individual animals were assessed) to the disintegrations per minute or mean disintegrations per minute of the concurrent vehicle control group. A substance was classified as a skin sensitizer if, at one or more test concentrations, it induced a threefold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity when compared with concurrent vehicle-treated controls (SI, >= 3).
