MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 intradermal and topical
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 ml volume are given in the shoulder region which is cleared of hair so that one of each pair lies on each side of the midline.
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: 7 days
- Concentrations:
Day 0: Intradermal application:
Test animals (20): 0.1 ml mixture (1:1) FCA and H2O ; 0.1 ml 0.5% test substance in corn oil ; 0.1 ml 0.5% test substance in FCA:H2O (1:1).
Control animals (10): 0.1 ml mixture (1:1) FCA and H2O ; 0.1 ml corn oil ; 0.1 ml FCA:H2O (1:1).
Day 7: Topical application:
Test group: A filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was fully-loaded with test substance applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Control animals: Corn oil was applied in the similair manner

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Day(s) of challenge: 7 & 21
- Exposure period: 2 days
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Concentrations: All animals: A patch loaded with the test substance is applied to one flank of the animals and a patch with the vehicle only was applied to the other flank. The patches are held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours (1st challenge) and 24 hours (2nd challenge)
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24h and 48h

OTHER: Approximately twenty-four hours before the topical induction application, the test area was treated with 10% SDS in vaseline, in order to create a local irritation.

Conclusions:
Tetrakis(2-ethylhexane-1,3-diolato)titanium demonstrated no sensitizing effect on the skin of female guinea pigs in the Magnusson-Kligman maximization test.
Executive summary:

Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 ml were given in the shoulder region of animals (20 animals).

Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

Injection 2: the 0.5% test substance in corn oil

Injection 3: the 0.5 % test substance in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

 

Control animals were treated with similar manner

Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/water

Injection 2: corn oil

Injection 3: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/corn oil

 

At day 6 before the topical induction application, as the substance was not a skin irritant, the test area, after shaving was handled with 10% SDS in vaseline in order to create a local irritation. At day 7 a filter paper (2 x 4 cm) was fully-loaded with 100% test substance and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. Control animals were exposed to corn oil in a similar manner. At day 21 second challenge was conducted. A patch loaded with the 100% test substance was applied to one flank of the animals. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. At 24 hours and 48 hours skin reactions were observed and recorded according to the Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.

At challenge no skin reactions were observed in any animals tested.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The key study by Murmann, P (1990) investigated skin sensitizing potential of tetrakis(2 -ethylhexane-1,3 -diolato)titanium. The substance demonstrated no sensitizing effect on the skin of female guinea pigs in the Magnusson-Kligman maximization test.

The supporting study on structurally similair substance (titanium tetrakis(2 -ethylhexanolate)) was used to evaluate the skin irritation of the substance.

At challenge no sensitization response was observed.

Data of the decomposition products is used for assessment, because the target substance is hydrolytically unstable having the half-life less than 10 minutes. Published information on titanium and TiO2 confirmed that there was no human evidence of skin sensitization, contact dermatitis or appreciable dermal absorption (Clayton & Clayton (eds.), 1981). There is also evidence of a lack of titanium compound toxicity to the skin demonstrated by its use in the therapy of skin disorders and as a biocompatible implant material (West & Wyzan, 1963 cited in WHO, 1982)

As a conclusion on skin sensitization, there is available enough reliable information to support the conclusion that tetrakis(2 -ethylhexane-1,3 -diolato)titanium is not skin sensitizer.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Tetrakis(2 -ethylhexane-1,3 -diolato) is not classified for skin sensitization in accordance to the CLP Regulation No. 1272/2008.
