Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
no data
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Limited documentation, application time not according to OECD TG 404. The test results from the ear are not taken into account for evaluation as they do not represent testing of the dorsal/lateral flank of the back.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Barely visible skin erythema (equivalent to a Draize score of 0) was noted at 24 hours after exposure when test substance was applied for 5 minutes, 15 minutes or 20 hours. No effects were noted at 8 days after the end of the exposure or after exposure to the test substance for only 1 minute. Neither scaling nor edema were noted at any observation time.
Other effects:
No mortality occurred and there were no clinical signs of toxicity observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Executive summary:

An 80% aqueous suspension of the test substance was not irritating when applied to the dorsal skin of rabbits for up to 20 hours under occlusive conditions.
