Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the test item 2,2,4(or 2,4,4) -trimethylhexane -1,6- diamine is considered to be corrosive to eyes of rabbits.

Executive summary:

The acute eye irritation properties of 2,2,4(or 2,4,4)-trimethylhexane-1,6-diamine were estimated in a Draize test according to OECD TG 405. An amount of 0.1 ml of the undiluted test substance was instilled into the left eye of one male albino rabbit, and the untreated right eye served as control. The eye remained unrinsed and there was no removal of test substance. The undiluted substance produced serious injury immediately (corrosive  effects, opalescence). 24 hours after treatment conjunctiva 

showed necrosis and the test was interrupted. Therefore, under the conditions of this test 2,2,4(or 2,4,4) -trimethyl hexane -1,6-

diamine is considered to be corrosive to eyes.
