Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The mean steady state of absorption for triethylene glycol monobutyl ether was 22.2 micrograms/cm2/hr (SD +/- 8.59), which was 100-fold less than that of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Test material did not increase permeability of the membrane (damage ratio of 1.26).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The mean steady state of absorption for triethylene glycol monobutyl ether was 22.2 micrograms/cm2/hr (SD +/- 8.59), which was 100-fold less than that of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Test material did not increase permeability of the membrane (damage ratio of 1.26).
Treatment did not alter epidermal permeability.
Executive summary:

The mean steady state of absorption for triethylene glycol monobutyl ether was 22.2 micrograms/cm2/hr (SD +/- 8.59), which was 100-fold less than that of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. Test material did not increase permeability of the membrane (damage ratio of 1.26). Treatment did not alter epidermal permeability.
