Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 430 (In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER))
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test material was applied to the epidermal surface of three skin discs for a contact period of 24 hours. At the end of the contact period the test material was removed using a jet of warm tap water. Corrosive substances produce an irreversible loss of normal stratum corneum integrity and function, this is measured as a reduction in the inherent TER. test materials that give a mean electrical resistance of 5 kOhm or less are considered likely to be corrosive in vivo. The TER was measured using a low voltage alternating current electronic databridge.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Potential to cause corrosion Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The mean TER recorded for the 24 hour test material contact period was less than 5 kOhm.
Following assessment of the data the test material is considered to have the potential to cause corrosion in vivo.
