Results and discussion

In vivo

Irritant / corrosive response data:
One drop of liquid TiCl4 applied for 10 seconds with subsequent copious washing with water caused suppurative conjunctivitis and darkening of the cornea. Application of solid hydrolysis product TiCl(OH)3 caused slight irritation of the conjunctiva. Aqueous hydrolysis product caused hyperemia of the conjunctiva.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Severe eye damage was observed following a short exposure to undiluted TiCl4. This is consistent with classification of the substance as corrosive.
