Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

A well documented 13 week subchronic toxicity study is available for the structurally related 2-octyldodecan-1-ol (C20). Male and female rats received the sustance daily by gavage. There were no indications that 2-octyldodecan-1-ol was toxic at the limit dose of 1 ml/kg bw/d. Due to their structural similarity no effects are expected after repeated oral application of the other Guerbet alcohols of this category either.

Additional data are available for the linear C22-alcohol docosan-1-ol. In a repeated dose toxicity study conducted according to a Guideline similar to OECD Guideline 408 male and female rats received oral doses of up to 1000 mg/kg daily for 26 weeks. No effects were observed resulting in a NOEL of 1000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data are conclusive but not sufficient for classfication of 2-butyloctan-1 -ol with regard to repeated dose toxicity.
