The following evaluation can be made to supplement the statements on the toxicological aspect of dipropylene glycol made in BUA Report 162 (December 1993): negative results were obtained in the vitro genotoxicity test as well as in the in vivo micronucleus test with dipropylene glycol. Based on these results and considering the structural analogy with other glycols (BUA, 1991; NTP, 1993), a carcinogenic potential for dipropylene glycol is unlikely.
