Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: Yes (intradermal: October 1st 1996 - October 3rd 1996; topical: October 1st 1996 - October 4th 1996)
2 animals were pre-treated with 2 intradermal injections of FCA/water emulsion (1:1) approx. 1 week prior to test material administration.
0.1 mL of the test substance (5% w/v) solved in propylene glycol was injected on either side of the spinal column and animals were observed for dermal irritation 24 h and 48 h after injection.
For the topical range-finding study, animals (3 per sex) were dosed with 0.1 mL test substance at 4 different concentrations (25%, 50%, 75% and 100% in ethyl alcohol) at different sites, 2 on either side of the column. Substance application occurred for over 24 h under occlusive conditions. Skin reactions were observed 24 and 48 h thereafter.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2 (positive and irritation control)
- Site: A row of three injections was made on each side in the shoulder region.
- Frequency of applications: Days 1 and 8
- Duration: 25 days
- Concentrations: intradermal induction: 5%, topical induction: 100%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 14 d after last induction application
- Exposure period: 24 h
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 2 (positive and irritation control)
- Site: Flank
- Concentrations: 100%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h after removal of the patches
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
Hexylcinnamic aldehyde (HCA)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Treatment with 50% HCA resulted in 30% positive response.
Treatment with 100% HCA resulted in 20% positive response (not sensitising, by definition). This lower effect might be due to decreased dermal absorption at high substance concentration.
