Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results from the radiotracer study indicated that the test substance showed relatively low dermal absorption (only 10% of the radiolabelled dose absorbed)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No systemic toxicity was observed in this 13 week repeated dose toxicity study after dermal administration of test substance doses up to 2000 mg/kg bw.
