Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

A local lymph node assay study based on internationally accepted guidelines was carried out to determine if the test article would induce a hypersensitivity response in mice as measured by the proliferation of lymphocytes in the draining lymph nodes.

A test material is considered to have skin sensitizing activity if, at one or more concentrations, it induces a 3 -fold or greater increase in proliferative activity relative to the concurrent vehicle treated control. Thus, a stimulation index above 3.0 is regarded as a positive response. Treatment with the test substance at a concentration of 50% (w/v) did result in stimulation indices greater than 3.0. Therefore, the test substance is considered to have skin sensitizing activity. The EC3 was calculated to be 29.7%.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance skin-sensitisation test data does meet classification criteria under EU Directive 67/548/EEC for skin sensitisation.

The test substance skin-sensitisation test data does meet classification criteria under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 for skin sensitisation
