Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

There are no data on the skin or respiratory sensitisation potential of butadiene in animals.

However, the gaseous nature of butadiene precludes the conduct of conventional skin sensitisation tests in animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

There are no data on the skin or respiratory sensitisation potential of butadiene in animals.

However, the gaseous nature of butadiene precludes the conduct of conventional skin sensitisation tests in animals.
