Toxicological information

Skin sensitisation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
The target substance is a hydrolytically unstable organotitatnate with hydrolysis half-life estimated to be with 1 hr, and with hydrolysis products being identified to be 2-propanol, isostearic acid and titanium dioxide. Because of the rapid hydrolysis, the influence of the target substance is related to the hydrolysis products.

Isostearic acid is the major hydrolysis product of the target substance. It’s toxicity property is used for read-across based on weight of evidence method.
