Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1 intradermal and 1 epicutanous induction
- Exposure period: 48 h (epicutanous induction)
- Test groups: 20 animals
- Duration: intradermal induction on day 1 with daily obervation of test sites until day 7; on day 9 epicutanous induction
- Patch: 0.5ml of the test substance preparation were applied to a cellulose patch of 2x4 cm. This patch covered the area of the intradermal injection sites. An occlusive dressing with impermeable foil and an elastic bandage sealed the application site
- Concentrations: 5% (Intracutanous induction), 25% (epicutanous induction)


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 22
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 20
- Site: clipped skin of flank
- Concentrations: 10%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24, 48 h

Any other information on results incl. tables

1) The treated animals did not show any signs of toxicity throughout the study period.
2) Induction: Very slight to slight edema were observed in the treatment group.
3) Challenge: 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing, a total of 2 animals (in 20) of the treatment group showed very slight, hardly perceptible erythema.
Ten percent of the animals of treatment group demonstrated a positive reaction after the challenge exposure (the criteria: the limit value of 30 percent).
