Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Solubility: the test substance formed a milky white suspension in DMSO at 50 mg/mL, the highest stock concentration that was prepared for use on this study.

TOXICITY-MUTATION TEST
No positive mutagenic responses were observed at any dose level in any tester strain in the absence or presence of S9 metabolic activation. No toxicity was observed at any dose level with any tester strain in either the absence or presence of S9. A >50% reduction in mean number of revertants was observed at: 3333 µg/plate for TA98 with S9 activation, 66.7 µg/plate for TA1535 with S9 activation, 3333 µg/plate for TA1537 with S9 activation, 667 µg/plate for TA1535 without S9 activation, and 3333 µg/plate for TA1537 without S9 activation. These reductions occurred at intermediate dose levels with no dose related correlation and are not considered to be biologically relevant. Test substance precipitation was observed starting at 100 µg/plate in the non-activated test system and at all dose levels in the activated testing system with the exception of TA100 with S9 activation where precipitation was observed starting at 333 µg/plate.

MUTAGENICITY TEST
No positive mutagenic responses were observed at any dose level or with any tester strain in either the absence or presence of S9 metabolic activation. No toxicity was observed at any dose level with any tester strain in either the absence or presence of S9. Test substance precipitation was observed at all dose levels (333 to 5000 µg/plate) with all tester strains both in the absence and presence of S9 activation.

Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

Titanium dioxide showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the bacterial reverse mutation test either in the absence or presence of Aroclor-induced rat liver S9. Based on these results, it is predicted that the structural analogue Titanium oxide (Ti3O5) also shows negative results for the bacterial reverse mutation test.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)
