Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Irritant / corrosive response data:
No corrosion was observed at each of the measuring intervals.
Other effects:
In the area of application a blue discoloration of the cornea and conjunctivae was observed which could be related to effects of the test article.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study on the primary eye irritation study was carried out with the analogue substance. As a result of the study, a slight conjunctival redness was still existing in one animal after 72 hours. Based on the short observation period (which was not prolonged up to 21 days as recommended) the full reversibility of the effect could not be demonstrated. Due to the structural similarity of the analogue substance and the substance subject of registration, the substance subject of registration is expected to show a comparable behaviour. According to the actual guidelines, the substance subject of registration has to be classified according to CLP regulation as category 1 ("irreversible effects on the eye").
