Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Method

Type of population:
general
Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed: 50
- Sex: 15 males and 35 females
- Age: 28-69 (males) and 18-69 (females) years
- Diagnosis:
Healthy: 9 males and 22 females
Sensitive skin: 7 females
Atopic: 6 males and 6 females
Ethical approval:
not specified
Route of exposure:
dermal
Reason of exposure:
intentional
Exposure assessment:
measured
Details on exposure:
The test substance, diluted to 25% in paraffin oil, was applied once at 2 mg test substance/cm² to healthy skin on the back area of the test subjects using a commercial test patch. The patch was removed 48 h post-application.
Examinations:
- Skin reactions: skin reactions were evaluated immediately after patch removal (48 h post-application) and 24 h later (72 h post-application).
- Scoring system:
0: no irritation
±: slight or doubtful erythema
+: clearly recognisable erythema
++: strong erythema and/or papulation
+++: densly aggregated papules and/or vesicles
++++: blistering or necrosis

Results and discussion

Clinical signs:
No positive or doubtful skin reactions were observed at 48 and 72 h post-application in any subject. Thus, there was no indication that the test substance acts as a primary skin irritant. Furthermore, no skin reactions resulting from an existing sensitisation were induced in this test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Not irritating. No evidence of an already existing sensitisation.
