Additional information
In the in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, triethoxy(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was applied to one side of the closely clipped backs of three New Zealand white rabbits at a dose of 0.5 ml per application site under a semi-occlusive dressing for 4 hours. The other side of the untreated skin on the backs of the rabbits served as the controls. After the 4-hour application period, the dressing was removed and excess test substance was washed off the skin with water. Observations were recorded and compared to the control sites at 1, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after removal of the dressing. Very slight to moderate irritant effects (erythema) were observed in all three animals after 24 hours. Very slight to well-defined skin reactions (erythema) were observed in two animals at 48 and 72 hours. At the 96-hour reading a very slight erythema was still found in one animal. However, by 120 hours there were no signs of irritation. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed. Triethoxy(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was concluded to be not irritating to rabbit skin (BSL Bioservice, 2000a).
In the key in vivo eye irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, triethoxy(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was applied to the lower conjunctival sac of one eye of three New Zealand white rabbits at a dose of 0.1 ml. The eye was held shut for one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The eyes were not rinsed. The untreated eye of each animal served as a control. At 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation the eyes were examined for signs of irritation. One hour after application, redness (grade 1/2) was visible in two animals, and chemosis (grade 1) of the conjunctivae was additionally visible in one animal. No corneal lesions were found upon fluorescein examination at 72 hours. There were no signs of irritation at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Triethoxy(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was concluded to be not irritating to the eyes of rabbits (BSL Bioservice, 2001b).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available in vivo skin and eye irritation studies, triethoxy(2,4,4 -trimethylpentyl)silane is not classified for skin or eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
