Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)
Acute/short term exposure

high hazard (no threshold derived)
DNEL related information

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)
Most sensitive endpoint:
sensitisation (skin)
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)
Most sensitive endpoint:
sensitisation (skin)

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
high hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

DNEL were derived for local effects on respiratory tract based on repeated dose study. Systemic effects lower than local effects were not found for inhalation path.

For dermal contact main focus should be local effects on skin caused by sensitizing properties of captan. As no threshold is derived from maximisation test, hazard should be assessed by a qualitative approach.

Remark: On theoretical basis by application of default factors from ECHA guidance DNEL for systemic effects resulting from dermal contact can be calculated on basis of sub-acute repeated dose toxicity. DNEL calculation was not performed to avoid misunderstandings for workers.

Additional information - General Population

Oral contact not relevant for general population. Captan powder is only used for formulation.

Subsequent use is for production of technical rubber goods and tyres with rests of captan bound in the polymer matrix.

Contact of general public with captan in technical rubber goods and tyres is not expected.
