Irritant / corrosive response data:
Two animals displayed erythema immediately after patch removal. One animal developed erythema 24 hours after patch removal. In all cases, erythema was grade one, except at 24 hours in one of the animals displaying an immediate reaction, when grade 2 erythema was observed. In each case, erythema was still visible at 72 hours, however, not at five days after patch removal.

Grade 1 oedema was seen in one animal 24 hours after patch removal. This was no longer visible 48 hours after patch removal.
Other effects:
There was no evidence of systemic toxicity or mortality throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 but not incompliance with GLP (reliability score 2), 0.5 mL of triethoxy(3-cyanatopropyl)silane was slightly irritating (by Draize criteria) to the skin of male rabbits when applied under occlusion for 4 hours. Mean individual 24/48/72-hour erythema scores were 1 to 1.3 (fully reversible within 6 days), with corresponding mean oedema scores of 0 to 0.33 (either no individual findings or, in one animal, fully reversible within 48 hours).
