Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Concentration levels have been selected based on a pretest which has shown that the test item unchanged (100%) did not result in skin irritation.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous, respectively)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal) and 48 h (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA (Freund's complete adjuvant)/water
Injection 2: 20% (v/v) test substance in maize oil
Injection 3: 20% (v/v) test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Due to the non irritation seen during pretesting, 24 h prior to epicutaneous induction the skin was pretreated with 10% SDS in petrolatum.
Epicutaneous: 100% test substance
- Control group:
Intradermal (3 pairs of injections):
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Injection 2: maize oil
Injection 3: maize oil in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water
Epicutaneous: maize oil

- Site: shoulder region (intradermal + epicutaneous)
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: Days 0 and 8
- Concentrations: intradermal 20%, epicutaneous 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 21
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: test substance
- Control group: test substance
- Site: left flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 48 and 72 h
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified

Any other information on results incl. tables

Local reactions during the induction phase

1. After intracutaneous application: In test and control animals, all injection areas treated with FCA exhibited strong erythema, edema and necrosis. The injection areas of the test and control animals treated with 20% test substance in maize oil and with maize oil alone (control) exhibited slight erythema and edema.

2. After epicutaneous application for 48 h: After the patches were removed from the test and control animals treated with FCA the area of application was inflamed with erythema and edema. 24 hours after the patches were removed eschar formation was evident at the injection site.

Clinical signs and body weight gain

No other clinical signs were noted. The body weight development was comparable in control and test animals.
