Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
study with volunteers
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A maximization test was carried out with test material in petrolatum on 9 males and 16 female, healthy, volunteers. Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearms of all subjects for five alternate day 48 hour periods. Patch sites were pretreated for 24 hours with 2.5% sodium lauryl sulfate under occlusion. Following a ten day rest period, a challenge patch was applied to a different site on the opposite upper arm for 48 hours under occlusion. The challenge site was pre-treated for one hour with a 10% aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate. The challenge site was read on removal of the patch and 24 hours thereafter.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
In a concentration of 2 %, propyl acetate caused no local effects and is thus not a skin sensitizer in this test.
