Irritant / corrosive response data:
The reaction scoring can be seen in the table above. The test material induce eye irritation to all animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Unlike the other endpoints, corneal opacity effects, although described as moderate irritation, were not fully reversible within 21 days post-application for almost all the animals tested. This suggests that the substance may have caused permanent damage to the eye of the rabbit.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye)
Conclusions:
On the basis of this result Marlopon AT50 can cause serious eye damage.
Executive summary:

In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of  substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of white rabbits (3/sex). The eyes were not washed after application of the substance. Animals were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Unlike all the other effects measured (such as appearance of iris, conjunctivae, chemosis and discharge) corneal opacity effects were not fully reversible within 21 days post-application for almost all the animals tested. This suggests that the substance may have caused permanent damage to the eye of the rabbit.

Based on the results of this study the substance is classified as damaging to the eye (Category 1).
