Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: .2 %

Signs of irritation during induction:
The dermal reactions caused by the intradermal injections
were assessed for irritation. Necrosis was seen at the
injection sites. This was considered to be caused by the
vehicle rather than by the test substance.

No signs of irritation were observed up to the highest
epidermally tested concentration. Therefore, a 10% SDS
solution was applied to provoke a mild inflammatory
reaction.

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration:
At 50% test substance concentration, 7 out of 10 animals
showed a response indicative of sensitisation. No skin
reactions were evident in the control animals.  These
results indicate a sensitisation rate of 70 per cent.

Other observations:
Yellow staining was observed at the test substance treated
skin sites, 24 and 48 hours after challenge. This staining
did not hamper scoring.
