Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by a technique closely to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates, using groups of four male albino rabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film. The animals were immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period.
GLP compliance:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A dermal LD50 value for propylenediamine of 0.5 ml/kg bw, equivalent to 430 mg/kg bw (based on a density of 0.86 g/cm³) was reported for rabbits.
Executive summary:

Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by a technique closely to the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates, using groups of four male albino rabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film. The animals were immobilized during the 24 hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14 day observation period. No data regarding mortality, clinical signs and body weight changes are given. The reported LD50 for the penetration of rabbit skin is 0.5 ml/kg bw.
