Scoring
Average (erythema + oedema)
0 - 0.5 no irritation
0.5 - 3.0 mild irritation
3.1 - 5.0 moderate irritation
5,1 - 8,0 strong irritation

Average Irritation index (oedema + erythema) 1hours - 72 hours was 1,73 (max 8).
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The dermal irritation potential of titanium 2,2',2´´nitrilotrisethanolate was evaluated when applied to the skin of rabbits. The test material did not cause skin irritation in rabbits.

Executive summary:

Skin irritation of titanium 2,2´,2´´nitrilotrisethanolate was tested on the back of rabbits. The product was applied undiluted and the intact skin was exposed 4 hours for the substance. The skin was washed to remove excess of test item. The erythema and oedema scores were recorded at 1, 4, 24, 48, 72 hours and 6, 8 and 10 days after test item removal. The substance demonstrated a slight rritant effect on the skin of male rabbits (irritation index = 0.4 / 8).

Endpoint conclusion

Additional information

Skin irritation

The key study by Murmann, P (1989) investigated skin irritation potential of Titanium 2,2´,2´´-nitrilotrisethanolate. The substance did not show irritant effect on the skin of rabbits.

Eye irritation

The key study by Murmann, P (1990) investigated eye irritation potential of tetrakis(2 -ethylhexane-1,3 -diolato)titanium. The substance demonstrated a moderate irritant effect on the eyes of rabbits.

This substance is hydrolytically unstable, releasing triethanolamine (TEA) (CAS 102 -71 -6) and hydrated titanium dioxide, when it comes in contact with water or moisture. Thus, the intrinsic properties of this substance are related to the hazards of of these degradatino products. Both substances have no classification for any hazard class according to the CLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the skin irritation information on the substance itself and on the degradation products, no classification is warranted according to CLP Regulation 1272/200

Based on the eye irritation information on the substance itself and on the degradation products, the substance has to be classified to hazard class Eye Irrit. Cat.2 according to CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
