Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Non occlusive application. Each animal was treated simulteneously at 4 application sites. 2 substances was tested at different concentrations on one animal in order to reduce the risk of any synergistic effects. Four hours exposure
GLP compliance:
no

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Toluene sulphonic acid
IUPAC Name:
Toluene sulphonic acid

Test animals

Species:
rabbit

Test system

Type of coverage:
open
Preparation of test site:
not specified
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
PTSA monohydrate 0.5-60% aqueous solutions
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Details on study design:
Non occlusive application. Each animal was treated simulteneously at 4 application sites. 2 substances was tested at different concentrations on one animal in order to reduce the risk of any synergistic effects. In the case of PTSA, the animals were exposed parallely to ethylene diamine, hydrofluoric acid, morpholine, sodium bifluoride, sodium hypochloride or propionic acid.

Results
Remarks on result:
other: not available
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Four hours exposure to 0.5% PTSA solution only caused irritation in one of three animals, while concentrations of 20-60% caused necrosis with subsequent scar formation

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Conclusions:
Four hours exposure to 0.5% PTSA solution only caused irritation in one of three animals, while concentrations of 20-60% caused necrosis with subsequent scar formation
