Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In two out of three animals reactions were observed 72 hours after instillation of the test material. Therefore observation period for these animals was extended to 10 days to determine the reversibility of the eye reactions. The eye reactions were reversible until the end of observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU GHS
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this eye irritation study in the rabbit the test material was not irritating to the eye.
