EC Number:
614-682-8
Cas Number:
68647-95-0
Molecular formula:
Not applicable (UVCB substance)
IUPAC Name:
Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, compds. with coco alkylamines
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, compds. with coco alkylamines
- Physical state: highly viscous liquid
- Analytical purity: The test item is a complex mixture of isomers and homologues components, so no purity can be stated. (For details see analytical report BASF study-No.: 11S05363)

Test animals

Species:
other: human-derived keratinocyte cell line
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Three dimensional human epidermis model Epi-200
- Source: MatTek in vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava, Slovakia
- Culture Medium: DMEM
- Cell death detection agent: 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) (MatTek In Vitro Life Science Laboratories, Bratislava, Slovakia / Sigma,Germany)
- duplicate cultures (corrosion test), triplicate cultures (irritation test)

Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Negative controls: De-ionized water (corrosion test), PBS (irritation test); Positive controls: 8-n potassium hydroxide solution (corrosion test), 5% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate (irritation test)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 50µl (corrosion test), 30µl (irritation test)
- A nylon mesh was used to ensure homogenous distribution of positive and negative control substances, but was not required for the test substance

Duration of treatment / exposure:
Corrosion test: 3min (room temperature), 1h (incubator)
Irritation test: 25 min (room temperature) + 35 min (incubator) = 1h overall exposure
Details on study design:
Washing
- with PBS at the end of exposure

Post-incubation period: app. 42h, only irritation test

MTT incubation
- Time: after removal of the test substance (corrosion test) or after the post-incubation period (irritation test) for 3h
- Formazan detection: extraction using isopropanol, measurement of optical density at 570nm
