Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The substance has given a clear negative result in a Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study in the guinea pig (0/17 sensitisation) rate.

There is no evidence of sensitisation in humans based on experience in use.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
A GLP-compliant Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study according to OECD Guideline 406 has been conducted. Concentrations used for induction were 10% in distilled water for the injections, and 100% for the topical application (preceded by wetting with 10% aqueous SLS to create local irritation). Following challenge with Ammonium Zirconium Carbonate at a concentration of 100%, none of the 17 test group animals showed positive reactions to this application.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

No specific test data is available on respiratory sensitisation but experience in use suggests the substance is not a respiratory sensitiser.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
No specific test data is available on respiratory sensitisation but the substance has been used in industry without any incidences of respiratory sensitisation for many years.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance has given a clear negative result in a Magnusson & Kligman maximisation study in the guinea pig (0/17 sensitisation) rate.

There is no evidence of sensitisation in humans based on experience in use. On this basis the substance is not classified as a skin sensitiser.

No specific test data is available on respiratory sensitisation but experience in use suggests the substance is not a respiratory sensitiser

and hence no classification is required.
