Description of key information

2,3-Epoxypropyl neodecanoate, oligomeric reaction products with toluene-4-sulfonic acid is slightly irritating to the skin of rabbits (OECD 404, Hüls 1985) and not irritating to eye and mucosa of rabbits (OECD 405, Hüls 1985), which does not meet the criteria according to EC regulation 1272/2008 to be classified as "irritating to skin and eyes".

To a male rabbit, all animals showed erythema and 2 animals oedema after one hour. At 24 hours 1 male rabbit showed erythema grade 3, 2 female erythema grade 2 and 2 male/ 1 female erythema grade 1. Only 1 male and 1 female showed oedema. At 48 hours up to 1 male rabbit, all showed erythema and one male oedema. At 72 hours 1 male and 2 female showed erythema. At 6 days 1 male and 2 female showed formations of scales. For details see attached table.

Conclusions:
According to the study, the test item showed a slight irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

To test the acute skin irritant effect of the test item

2,3-Epoxypropyl neodecanoate, oligomeric reaction products with toluene-4-sulfonic acid

was applied to the shaven dorsal skin of rabbits. The product was administered undiluted and the time of exposure in the patch test was 4 hours.

To a male rabbit, all animals showed erythema and 2 animals oedema after one hour. At 24 hours 1 male rabbit showed erythema grade 3, 2 female erythema grade 2 and 2 male/ 1 female erythema grade 1. Only 1 male and 1 female showed oedema. At 48 hours up to 1 male rabbit, all showed erythema and one male oedema. At 72 hours 1 male and 2 female showed erythema. At 6 days 1 male and 2 female showed formations of scales.

According to the study, the test item showed a slight irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.

A slight conjunctiva redness and discharge was observed 1 hour after administration at all animals. At 24 hours after administration only 1 male rabit showed slight conjunctiva redness. At 48 hours all animals were free of signs.

Conclusions:
According to results of the study, the test item showed no irritant effect on the eyes and mucosa of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

To test the acute irritant effect on eyes and mucosa of the test item

2,3-Epoxypropyl neodecanoate, oligomeric reaction products with toluene-4-sulfonic acid

Additional information

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
Only one study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
Only one study available
