Additional information

Possible skin irritating properties of 1,1,3,3-tetrabutylurea were tested in a study with 3 rabbits according to Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.41. With a primary dermal irritation index (PDII) of ca. 5.4 the substance was highly irritating.

Possible eye irritating properties of 1,1,3,3-tetrabutylurea were tested in a study with 3 rabbits according to Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.42. With an overall irritation score of 3.56 the substance was not eye irritating.


Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: highly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Conclusion on skin irritation: 1,1,3,3-tetrabutylurea was highly skin irritating in rabbits and should be labelled accordingly.

Conclusion on eye irritation: 1,1,3,3-tetrabutylurea was not eye irritating in rabbits. Therefore, there is no need for classification and labelling.
