FAQ
- ¿Es sec-butyl alcohol seguro durante el embarazo?
- ECHA lists butan-2-ol (sec‑butyl alcohol, CAS 78-92-2) with a harmonised classification that includes H361 (“Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child”), and REACH/EPA dossiers report multigeneration and developmental studies in rats (two‑generation and developmental screens) that led to concern. These authoritative classifications and animal data support h=2. Mechanistic data for specific endocrine disruption are limited (m=1). Dermal/topical absorption is possible but generally low for small alcohol solvents in cosmetic use (e=1). ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.001.053?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es sec-butyl alcohol seguro durante la lactancia?
- Harmonised H361 raises concern for reproductive toxicity that is relevant to breastfeeding exposure. There is limited mechanistic evidence specific to lactational transfer, so m=1. Dermal absorption from cosmetic use is low but measurable; therefore e=1. Key regulatory sources and toxicology dossiers note reproductive/developmental findings. ([echa.europa.eu](https://echa.europa.eu/brief-profile/-/briefprofile/100.001.053?utm_source=openai))
- ¿Es sec-butyl alcohol seguro para la piel del bebé?
- Hazard (h=2) follows the harmonised H361 classification and animal reproductive data (same basis as adult). Mechanistic evidence for infant‑specific effects is limited (m=1). Exposure score increased by +1 for baby skin (e=2) because infant skin has higher surface‑area‑to‑weight and an immature barrier, so measurable dermal absorption of a small alcohol solvent is more likely in 0–3‑year olds.
