Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of sodium p-cumene sulphonate was assessed following official guideline OECD 406, Skin sensitization.
In this study one group of 20 test animals was treated with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate for an exposure period of once weekly to 6 hours induction exposures for 3 weeks. After a 2 week rest period, both test (20) and control (10) animals were challenged with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate. On challenge with 0.4 ml of undiluted sodium cumene sulphonate, no reaction was observed in any of the test animals and conrtrol animals at both the 21 -hour and 45 -hour reading. No evidence for sensitization was observed in this study.
