Principles of method if other than guideline:
Sample was used as supplied. A group of six albino rabbits were clipped over a wide area. One side of the animals' backs was abraded at one side with
a lancet sufficiently deep t o penetrate the stratum corneum but not enter the derma to produce bleeding.
The skin of the other side was allowed to remain intact.
A 0.5 g portion o f material was applied to an abraded and an intact skin siteon the same rabbit. Gauze patches were then placed over the treated areas
and an impervious material was wrapped snugly around the trunks of the animals t o hold the patches in place. The wrapping was removed at the end of
the four hour period and the treated areas were examined. Readings were also made after twenty-four and seventy-two hours.
The Draize method o f scoring was employed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
75% solution of (2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium 2-ethylhexanoate in ethyleneglycol was was tested for skin irritancy in Albino Rabbits.
A single 4 h, occluded application of the test material to the skin of 6 rabbits produced no erythema or edema. 24 and 72 h observation showed minimal, barely perceptible erythema and no edema.
