- Details on study design:
- SITE PREPARATION:
The day prior to application of the test article, the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal was clipped free of hair. The prepared site was approximately 10 x 10 cm and remained intact.
DOSING
Initially, one rabbit was dosed on sites #1, 2 and 3 with 0.5 g/site of the test article. The test article was individually weighed, 0.5 g/site and moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water to form a pasty consistency. The test article was applied under a 2.5 x 2.5 cm gauze patch. Gentle pressure was applied to aid in the distribution of the test article over the prepared site. Each patch was secured with non-irritating tape. Site 1 was covered with a piece of plastic and held in place manually for the three-minute exposure. This method allowed partial removal of the wrapping to expose site #1 at 3 minutes post dose without disturbing sites #2 and 3. Sites 2 and 3 were wrapped with another piece of plastic in a semi-occlusive manner and secured with non-irritating tape. This method of wrapping aids in retaining the test patch in position and retards evaporation of volatile substances.
The wrapping and test article patch covering site #1 was removed at 3 minutes postdose and the site was gently washed with distilled water. A window was cut in the wrapping over site #2 at 1 hour after dosing. The patch was removed and the site gently washed with distilled water. At 4 hours postdose, the torso wrappings and patch covering site #3 were removed and the site gently washed with distilled water.
Since no evidence of a corrosive or severely irritating effect was observed in the initial animal, two additional animals were added to the study. The animals (females) were dosed with 0.5 g of the test article at site #3. After an exposure period of four hours, the wrappings and patches were removed and the sites gently washed with distilled water.
TYPE AND FREQUENCY OF OBSERVATIONS:
The test sites of all animals were scored for dermal irritation at 60 minutes after removal of wrappings. Site #3 (four-hour exposure) was scored at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Reactions were scored again on day 7 following patch removal.
Erythema and edema were scored according to teh numerical Driaze technique. The skin was also evaluated for ulceration and necrosis or any evidence of tissue destruction.
Draize scoring scheme:
Erythema & Eschar
No erythema: 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible): 1
Well defined erythema: 2
Moderate to severe erythema: 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth): 4
Edema
No edema: 0
Very slight edema (barely perceptible): 1
Slight edema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising): 2
Moderate edema (raised approximately 1.0 mm): 3
Severe edema (raised more than 1.0 mm, extending beyond the area of exposure): 4
Body weights of all animals were recorded pre-test, 72 hours and at termination.
The general health of the animals was monitered at each observation time. All animals were sacrificed using CO2 following study termination.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is not a dermal irritant.
- Executive summary:
Objective:
To determine the irritant or corrosive effects, if any, of a test article when applied dermally. The study was designed to comply with the standards set forth in OECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals, Number 404, adopted April 24, 2002.
Method Synopsis:
Since the test article was suspected to be a severe dermal irritant, one healthy male New Zealand White rabbit was dosed dermally with NIPMMA Technical Grade. The test article (0.5 g) was applied dermally to three intact sites for an exposure period of three minutes on site #1, one hour on site #2 and four hours on site #3. Dermal reactions were scored at 60 minutes after each patch removal on all three sites. Site #3 was scored again at 24, 48 and 72 hours. Reactions were scored again on day 7 following patch removal. The skin was also evaluated for ulceration and necrosis or any evidence of tissue destruction at these time periods. Since the reaction of the initial animal did not produce a corrosive or severely irritating effect, two additional animals (females) were added to the study. The two animals were dosed at site #3 for a four hour exposure. Dermal reactions were scored at 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours and day 7 after patch removal. Body weights of all animals were recorded pretest, at 72 hours and at termination.
Summary:
Initial animal:
Erythema was absent at 60 minutes following patch removal following the 3 minute exposure and very slight at 60 minutes following the 1 and 4 hour exposures. Erythema was absent at 24, 48 and 72 hours following the 4 hour exposure. Edema was absent at 60 minutes after patch removal following the 3 minute exposure and following the 1 and 4 hour exposures. Edema was also absent at 24, 48 and 72 hours. On day 7, erythema and edema were absent.
Two additional animals:
Erythema was absent at 60 minutes following the 4 hour exposure and absent to slight at 24, 48 and 72 hours following the 4 hour exposure. On day 7, erythema was absent. Edema was absent at all observation points.
Systemic Observations:
There were no abnormal physical signs noted during the observation period.
All body weight changes were normal.
Conclusion:
The test substance is not a dermal irritant.
