Classification: irritating
Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation properties of isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer were estimated according to OECD method 404. A dose of 0.5 ml test item per animal was applied to the clipped, intact dorsal and lateral skin of 3 male rabbits under occlusive conditions. After the 4 -hour exposure period remains of test substance were removed with warm water and skin irritation was assessed using the Draize scale. The average scores at 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal are as follows: erythema: 2.56, edema: 1.11. The mean irritation index was 3.09. At the end of the post observation period (14 days) eschars were observed. Therefore, under the conditions of this study isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer is moderately irritating to skin and must be classified as irritating to skin.
