Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

(see attached document 'Read Across C4 Hydrocarbons' under chapter 13).

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

No skin irritation data are available for butadiene. The gaseous nature of butadiene precludes the conduct of conventional skin and eye irritation tests in animals.

However, as no skin irritation has been mentioned in any studies in humans following single exposure to high concentrations, this suggests that butadiene does not exhibit this property.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

No skin irritation in animals or humans were observed.

The gaseous nature of butadiene precludes the conduct of conventional skin and eye irritation tests in animals.
