Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 50 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
Intradermal Induction:
Very slight erythema was noted at all test group sites at the 24 and 48-hour observations. No signs of skin irritation were noted at the control sites at either the 24 or 48-hour observations.

Topical Induction:
Very slight erythema was noted at all test group sites at the 1-hour observation and persisted at one test site at the 24-hour observation. Residual test material was present at all test sites at the 1 and 24-hour observations. Very slight erythema was noted at one control site at the 1-hour observation.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
None.

Other observations:
Pale yellow coloured staining was noted at all test and control sites at the 24 and 48-hour observations at the 50% w/w dilution and one test and one control site at the 25% w/w dilution.

All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The analogue substance 1 (refer to IUCLID chaper 13) did not cause skin sensitisation in a maximisation test using 50 % as challenge concentration
