Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 10 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
At 50% SNEA, discrete to moderate erythema was noted and 7
animals had hard skin or scabbing at the test site.  In week
2 (25% SNEA), discrete to moderate erythema and scabbing,
dry, flaky or hard skin was noted.  At week 3 (10% SNEA),
discrete to moderate erythema was noted.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
Positive responses were noted in the majority of test group
animals.  Reactions were either discrete or patchy erythema
(1) or moderate and confluent erythema (2).  No positive
responses were observed in control group animals.

Other observations:
Dose Ranging for Induction and Challenge:  Ca. 24h after a
topical application of 2000 mg/kg, the animals were humanely
killed.  The animals were found lying on their sides at
morning check.  They could not move around nor stand, were
cold to touch and breathing was laboured.  Aminals were
constantly trying to stand up.  Bodyweights had decreased.
At the 1000 mg/kg dose level (topical), the animals
demonstrated laboured breathing, locomotion difficulties and
were cold to touch 24 h after application.  Based on these
reactions, the Buehler Test method was used.


Main Study:  In the second induction, dark extremities and
head tremors were observed.
