Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Conclusions:
The test material Ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide) (CAS No: 32588-76-4) was considered to be not irritating to the skin of albino rabbits.
Executive summary:

The dermal irritation study of Ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide) (CAS No: 32588-76-4) was conducted on albino rabbits to determine the degree of irritation.

 

In this study, 500 mg of Ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide) was applied to the abraded skin of three rabbits and the intact skin of the other three over the wide shaved area. One side of each rabbit’s back was slightly abraded at one site with a lancet sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum but not to enter the derma and produce bleeding. The other side of the back was left intact.

 

The sites were covered with gauze pads and an impervious material was wrapped around the trunk of the animal to hold the pads in place. The dressing was removed at 24 hours and 72 hours in order to observe the sites.the skin reactions were observed according toDraize method.

 

None of the treated rabbit produced erythema, eschar, or edema at 24 or 72 hours with primary irritation index of 0. Hence the chemical Ethylenebis(tetrabromophthalimide) (CAS No: 32588-76-4)was considered to be not irritating to the skin of albino rabbits.
