Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
corn oil
Concentration / amount:
25.0% in corn oil (w/w)
Due to its low water solubility n-octyl chloride can not be applied using water as vehicle. However, n-octlyl chloride can be easily mixed with oil. In a pre-study 2.5, 25 and 50% n-octyl chloride were tested. A solution of 25% n-octyl chloride in corn oil was found to be the highest non-irritation concentration following repeated dosing and was therefore used in the main study.
