Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Diisobutyl phthalate is not acutely toxic.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Acute toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 10 000 mg/kg bw
Acute toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 10 000 mg/kg bw
Additional information
In two separate studies, both done to pre-guideline methodologies, the oral LD50 of DIBP was found to be over 10 g per kilogram body weight, and between 16 and 28 g per kilogram bodyweight.
Dermal exposures also elicited minimal toxicity - with 10ml per kilogram body weight applied to the backs of guinea pigs with an occlusive dressing not giving rise to any toxicological effects or deaths.
Two reports of the determination of an LD50 in the male mouse via intraperitoneal injection reported values of approximately 4 g per kg bw.
There is no information on the inhalation hazard of DIBP - however phthalate esters generally are of extremely low toxicity by the inhalation route - as for all other routes. Consequently, this particular endpoint is waived on the basis that any potential exposures could not approach levels that are acutely toxic. Typical values cited in reviews for inhalation toxicity of phthalate esters are greater than 15 mg/l (DBP as cited in the official EU risk assessment - EU 2003)
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data together with supporting information for other phthalate diesters indicates that DIBP does require classification for acute toxicity.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
