Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this skin sensitisation study according to OECD 406 the test item (51% of cyclohexane, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethyl-, homopolymer, caprolactam-blocked and 49% of isophorone diisocyanate, caprolactam-blocked) showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitizing properties of the test item (contains 51% of cyclohexane, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethyl-, homopolymer, caprolactam-blocked and 49% of isophorone diisocyanate, caprolactam-blocked) were assessed in a buehler test according to OECD 406. Ten female guinea pigs were treated with three identical inductions on  days 0, 7, and 14 (occlusive epicutaneous) of 25 % test substance. Ten control animals were similary treated, but with vehicle (petrolatum) alone. Two weeks after the induction treatment all animals were challengend with 25 % substance and the vehicle. All the reactions, especially erythema and oedema formation, were assessed 24, 48 and 72 hours after administration of the challenge treatment.

During the test, neither the test animals nor the controls did show any systemic effects related to the substance or impairment of bodyweight gain due to the substance.

Dermal administration in the three induction phases did not leave to any skin irritation on the administration sites of any of the test and control animals.

Challenge treatment did not cause any signs of dermal irritation in any of the treated animals in the test and control groups.

Therefore, under the conditions of this study the test item showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.
