Determination of a non-irritating concentration
Exposure of guinea pig skin to 100 or 20% test substance resulted in moderate erythema and clearly defined edema. At 4%, the animals showed light / clearly defined erythema and very light edema. There were no signs of irritation at 1, 0.2 and 0.04%.
The doses of 4 and 1% were therefore selected for the induction and challenge phases, respectively.
Dermal induction phase
During the induction phase (Days 1 - 15), animals presented light to clearly defined erythema and very light to clearely defined edema. The skin surfaces were dry and flaky. In the control group, no effects were seen on the treated skin.
Challenge phase
24 and 48 h after the occlusive bandage was removed, no effects were observed in any animals of the treated or control groups.
Clinical signs and bodyweight
During the main test, there were no signs of toxicity and bodyweight gain of the test animals was comparable to that of controls.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: CLP criteria not met
- Remarks:
- does not qualify classification
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the Buehler test, the substance is considered to be non-sensitizing.
- Executive summary:
A study was conducted to determine the sensitization potential of the test substance, C18 TMAC (active: 79.8%), according to OECD Guideline 406 and EU Method B.6, in compliance with GLP. The experiment was performed in guinea-pig according to the Buehler test. A pre-test was conducted to determine the non-irritating concentrations to use in the main study. During the induction phase (Days 1 - 15), the test animals were exposed to 0.5 mL of the read across substance at 4% via an occlusive bandage placed on the shaved skin of the left flank. After 6 h, the bandage was removed and the skin was washed with warm tap water. Observations of the treated skin were made approximately 24 h later. On Day 29, the test and control animals were exposed to 0.5 mL of the test substance at 1% via an occlusive bandage placed on the shaved skin of the right flank. On Days 30 and 31, a macroscopic evaluation of the treated skin was made and animal bodyweights were recorded. During the induction phase (Days 1 - 15), animals presented light to clearly defined erythema and very light to clearly defined edema. The skin surfaces were dry and flaky. In the control group, no effects were seen on the treated skin. In the challenge phase, 24 and 48 h after the occlusive bandage was removed, no effects were observed in any animals of the treated or control groups. During the main test, there were no signs of toxicity and bodyweight gain of the test animals was comparable to that of controls. Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be non-sensitizing to guinea pig (Bury, 1995).
