The Basics On Hydrogenated Didecene
What is Hydrogenated Didecene?
Skin-conditioning agent derived from didecene, which is a hydrocarbon. Hydrocarbons are organic…
What are other names for Hydrogenated Didecene?
1-DECENE, DIMER, HYDROGENATED, 1DECENE, DIMER, HYDROGENATED, DIMER HYDROGENATED 1-DECENE, HYDROGENATED 1-DECENE, DIMER, and HYDROGENATED DIDECENE
What is Hydrogenated Didecene used for?
Hydrogenated didecene, due to its colorless and odorless characteristic, quite useful in cosmetic formulations. It forms a film over the skin surface, which does not allow moisture to evaporate and protects skin from other pollutants as well. By forming such a film, it also conditions the skin.

Polybutene No teratogenic effects were found when polybutene was fed to rats at 1% or 10% in the diet for six months.4 A three-generation reproductive study in Charles River albino rats that ingested polybutene up to 20,000 ppm demonstrated that, except for the test (F2) male parental animals that were fed 20,000 ppm polybutene, none of the animals in successive generations differed from controls with regard to weight gains. The F2 male parental animals showed slight weight depression, although their growth patterns were still within the normal range. In all three generations, there were no significant differences between test and control animals with regard to litter size, the number of stillborn, and the number of viable pups during lactation. The survival, body weights, and reactions of test animals were comparable to those of controls. Average molecular weights were not specified in these studies. Hydrogenated Polydecene The reproductive effects of hydrogenated polydecene were studied in rats that received the test material via oral gavage (average molecular weight not specified). 6 (See 90-day repeated dose study of hydrogenated polydecene in Sprague-Dawley rats described in the above Repeated Dose Toxicity section). Groups of 30 male and 30 female Sprague-Dawley rats received 0, 100, 500, or 1000 mg/kg bw/day hydrogenated polydecene in polyethylene glycol daily for 4 weeks prior to mating and through mating. At the end of mating, males were sacrificed. Females were treated through gestation and until lactation day 21. No treatment-related effects were observed on clinical signs, body weight, or gross pathology in the parental generation or in the pups through lactation day 21. There were no treatment related effects on reproduction or pup viability. The NOAEL for parental systemic effects, parental reproductive effects, and offspring effects in this one generation rat study is 1000 mg/kg bw/day. Hydrogenated Polydodecene The reproductive effects of the trimer of hydrogenated polydodecene (analog of hydrogenated polydodecene) were studied in one generation of rats that received the test material via gavage.6 (See repeated dose study of the trimer of hydrogenated polydodecene in Sprague-Dawley rats described in the above Repeated Dose Toxicity section). Groups of 24 male and 24 female Sprague-Dawley rats received 0, 50, 250, or 1000 mg/kg/day of the test material in arachis oil daily. Two non-treatment related mortalities occurred during the study, one in the control group and the other in the 250 mg/kg/day dose group. No treatment-related effects were observed on clinical signs, body weight, feed and water consumption, or fertility and mating performance in the parental rats. Hematological and clinical chemistry measurements were within normal parameters. No treatment-related effects on offspring growth or development were observed. Litter sizes were comparable to controls in all dose groups. No adverse effects were observed during gross necropsy or histopathological examination. The NOAEL for adult toxicity and reproductive and development toxicity in this rat study is 1000 mg/kg/day.
