Frequently asked questions
- Is di(t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate safe during pregnancy?
- No harmonised reproductive classification (no H360/H361) found on ECHA brief/profile or registration dossier; no SCCS or CIR safety opinion located. Available toxicology in the ECHA registration and supplier SDSs describe acute/irritation and organic‑peroxide hazards (flammability, decomposition) but do not report reproductive or developmental toxicity studies. Given the lack of reproductive hazard evidence but potential for dermal absorption of organic esters in industrial formulations, exposure (e) is scored as 1 (low but measurable) for topical use in pregnancy. Sources: ECHA registration/brief profile and IUCLID sections; supplier SDSs.
- Is di(t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate safe while breastfeeding?
- Same evidence base as for pregnancy: no reproductive or lactation-specific data or regulatory reproductive classifications identified (no SCCS/CIR opinions, no harmonised H361/H360). Therefore hazard and mechanism default to 0. Exposure scored 1 (low but measurable) reflecting potential dermal uptake; no data on breastmilk transfer found.
- Is di(t-butylcyclohexyl) peroxydicarbonate safe for baby skin?
- No infant- or developmental‑toxicity data were located. Following the instructions to increase exposure for baby skin when adult absorption is measurable, exposure is increased by +1 (adult e=1 → baby e=2). Hazard and mechanism remain 0 due to lack of any reproductive/developmental evidence or specific infant toxicity data. Note: peroxydicarbonates are used industrially as polymerization initiators and carry physical hazards (instability, decomposition) in SDSs but that does not equate to reproductive hazard.
