Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

1. Identification of relevant dose descriptor

The 90-day oral toxicity study in rats was the longest repeat-dose study performed. In this study, no treatment-related effects were observed at 300 mg/kg bw /day. Effects at 1000 mg/kg bw were slight and not indicative of a specific target organ.

2. Mode of action

The test substance has no genotoxic potential. It did not cause teratogenitcy or developmental toxicity.

The substance is a skin sensitizer.

3. Correction of dose descriptor

NOAEL (oral) is converted into a NOAEL(corrected) in accordance to Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment, Chapter R.8: Characterization of dose[concentration]-response for human health, ECHA, May 2008.

A reliable DNEL for skin sensitization could not be derived since both sensitization experiments were conducted following the design of a Guinea pig maximization test. Therefore, a qualitative assessment revealed the test substance to be a moderate or strong sensitizer according to the Potency categorization based on GPMT .

Granulometric data show that a very small fraction of the material has a particle size equal or smaller than 10 mm. Therefore, only a small proportion is able to reach the lower respiratory tract including alveoli. For inhalation, an extra factor of 3 was applied to account for uncertainties with regards to a) parts of the material being able to reach the lower respiratory tract and b) account for possible sensitizing potential in the lung, based on the observation of sensitization reactions when applied on the skin.

The respective stringent risk management measures have to be applied to prevent contact allergic reaction.
