Description of key information

In a GPMT test performed according to the method of Magnussen -Kligman, 20 female Dunkin- Hartley guinea-pigs were induced intradermally and epicutaneously with 5 and 50% of the substance respectively. 20 control females received the same treatment with the vehicle (coconut oil). After 2 weeks an epicutaneous challenge was initiated at 10 and 20% of the substance in vehicle. Flanks were assessed for erythema and oedema at 24, 48 and 72 hours after challenge.

A positive result was reported in 14 of the test substance induced females. This result is indicative for sensitizing properties of the substance. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be sensitizing to skin.
