Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:




Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

Triphenylmethane-4,4',4''-triisocyanate (applied as a 27% solution in ethyl acetate) was shown to be irritating to the rabbit's skin in a study performed according to OECD TG 404. Due to light brown discolouration of the application area no evaluation of erythema and oedeme formation was possible in all 3 animals from the time point of patch removal to 8 days after patch removal. Thereafter the erythema/oedema score was 0 in all animals. On the other hand induration, laceration and peeling was observed in all animals whereas the onset of the effects differ from 24 hours to 5 days after patch removal. All effects were reversible within 13days after patch removal. No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.
