Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Animals exposed to a single application without washing did not show any signs of eye irritation. In contrast, 1 out of 3 animals showed a slight conjunctival irritation (conjunctivae score 2 at reading time point 1 h after substance application) when the substance was rinsed away with water. As the effect was reversible already after 24 h and the exposure to the test substance occured for only 2 sec, the effect might be due to the washing procedure.
