Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Examinations

Details of tissue and slide preparation:
Smears were prepared from peripheral blood samples obtained by cardiac puncture of dosed and control animals at the termination of the 13-week  
study. Smears were immediately prepared and fixed in absolute methanol.  The methanol-fixed slides were stained with Hoechst 33258/pyronin Y  
(MacGregor et al., 1983) and coded. Slides were scanned to determine the  frequency of micronuclei in 10,000 normochromatic erythrocytes (NCEs) 
in  up to 10 male and 10 female mice per dose group.
Statistics:
Log transformation of NCE data, testing for normality by the Shapiro-Wilk  test, and testing for heterogeneity of variance by Cochran's test. The frequency of micronucleated cells among NCEs was analyzed by analysis  of variance with the SAS GLM procedure. The NCE data for each dosed group  were compared with the concurrent solvent control group by Student's  t-test.

Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
yes
Remarks:
local and systemic signs of toxicity down to the lowest dose level tested
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Negative controls validity:
not examined
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
The test substance did not induce micronuclei in peripheral blood erythrocytes of mice exposed dermally to concentrations of up to 1250 mg/kg bw for 13 weeks.
The sensitivity of the test system was verified since the positive control substance showed the expected positive reactions.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results summary:

The test substance did not induce micronuclei in peripheral blood erythrocytes of mice exposed dermally to concentrations of up to 1250 mg/kg bw for 13 weeks.

The sensitivity of the test system was verified since the positive control substance showed the expected positive reactions.
