- Approximately 48 hours prior to the start of the study the back of each guinea pig was clipped free of hair. The following day, a cream hair remover was applied over the clipped area to remove any remaining hair. Twenty four hours following this procedure, ten guinea pigs received four applications of the test material within ten days during the insult phase of testing. The test material was applied as a 10 % (w/v) solution.
An additional group of ten guinea pigs received an epoxy resin as a 10 % (v/v) solution. Both solutions were prepared in diprolylene glycol monomethyl ether/Tween 80 (9:1). The epoxy resin is known to be a skin sensitiser and served as a positive control. Each insult application consisted of 0.1 mL of the test material or the positive control applied to an approximately 15 x 15 mm gauze square patch placed on the back of the guinea pig, covered first with MICROPORE and then secured with adhesive tape. At the time of the third application, a total of 0.2 mL of Freund’s Adjuvant was injected intradermally at multiple points adjacent to the insult site.
Each time the patches were removed, observations for erythema and/or oedema were made and recorded. At the time of the last reading, the toe nails and distal portion of both rear feet were wrapped with adhesive tape. After the minimum two-week rest period the flanks of each animal were clipped. The left flank was challenged with 0.1 mL of either the test material or epoxy resin, the right flank with 0.1 mL of diprolylene glycol monomethyl ether/Tween 80 (9:1). The challenge applications were not occluded. Skin response was recorded at 24 and 48 hours.
Guinea pigs were weighed weekly throughout the study. Routine monitoring was limited to animal husbandry procedures required to ensure the availability of food and water. At the termination of the study, all guinea pigs were euthanatised. - Positive control substance(s):

Any other information on results incl. tables
Three of the ten guinea pigs challenged with the test material as a 10 % solution revealed signs of s1ight to moderate erythema. The degree of erythema and/ or oedema observed, along with the number of animals affected are taken into consideration in the evaluation of sensitisation potential. Since initial application of the test material as a 10 % solution proved to be non-irritating with regards to skin irritation, any reaction at the challenge site is considered a sensitisation response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the test material was concluded to possess sensitising properties to the skin of guinea pigs.
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of the test material was investigated in a study which was conducted under the spirit of GLP and following a modified Maguire methodology.
During the study, 10 male Hartley guinea pigs received 4 applications of the test material within 10 days. The test material was applied as a 10 % w/v solution. An additional group of 10 guinea pigs, used as a positive control, received an epoxy resin (positive control) as a 10 % v/v solution. Both solutions were prepared in dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether/Tween 80 (9:1). Each application consisted of 0.1 mL of the test material or the positive control resin applied to a gauze patch, placed on the back of the guinea pig, then secured and covered with adhesive tape.
Following a minimum 2-week rest period, the animals were challenged. Challenge with the positive control resulted in slight to marked erythema on all guinea pigs. Under identical conditions, three of the guinea pigs challenged with the test material revealed signs of slight to moderate erythema. The degree of erythema and/or oedema observed, along with the number of animals affected are taken into consideration in the evaluation of sensitisation potential. Therefore, based on these results, the test material should be considered as possessing some potential to induce skin sensitisation.
