Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Dibutyl phthalate
EC Number:
201-557-4
EC Name:
Dibutyl phthalate
Cas Number:
84-74-2
IUPAC Name:
dibutyl phthalate
Details on test material:
> 99% pure

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
B6C3F1

Examinations

Statistics:
The frequency of micronucleated cells among normochromatic erythrocytes was analyzed by a statistical software package (ILS, 1990) that employed a one-tailed trend test across exposure groups and a t-test for pairwise comparisons of each exposure group to the concurrent control.

Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
yes
Vehicle controls validity:
valid

Any other information on results incl. tables

Analyses of peripheral blood samples taken from male and female mice at the end of the 13-week study revealed no increased incidences of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes in males or females.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
DBP did not cause an increased incidences of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes in males or female rats after a 13 week dosing period.
