Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

The substance is known to be corrosive to skin so acute toxicity testing is unjustified. The substance is an intermediate used under SCC and therefore exposure via oral, dermal and /or inhalation is unlikely.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance is corrosive to skin so acute toxicity testing is unjustified. The substance is an intermediate used under SCC and therefore exposure via oral, dermal and /or inhalation is unlikely. Based on this information no C&L is proposed.
