Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Species:

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Concentration / amount:
Concentration of test material and vehicle used at induction:
20% in propylene glycol for intradermal induction and 50% in
propylene glycol for dermal induction.


No signs of irritation were observed to the highest test
substance concentration epidermally tested. Therefore, the
test site of all animals was treated with 10% SDS
approximately 24 hours before the epidermal induction in the
main study, to provoke a mild inflammatory reaction.

Concentration of test material and vehicle used for each challenge:
50% in propylene glycol.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
The skin effects caused by the intradermal injections and
epidermal exposure during the induction phase are given
below. Since a 50% concentration, selected in the
preliminary irritation study, could not be injected, a 20%
concentration was used instead.

The signs of necrosis seen in the control animals after the
intradermal injection with vehicle only were in consistency
with the results in the preliminary irritation study after
injection of propylene glycol.

The reactions noted in the experimental and control animals
after the epidermal induction exposure were considered to be
enhanced by the SDS treatment.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
The skin reactions observed in response to a 50% test
substance concentration in ten (of the ten) experimental
animals in the challenge phase were considered indicative of
sensitisation, based on the absence of any response in the
control animals.

These results indicate a 100% sensitization rate.

Other observations:
Toxicity / Mortality

No mortality occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity
were observed in the animals of the main study.


Body Weights

Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals

remained in the same range as controls over the study
period.
