Description of key information
Skin irritation
LAS TEA:
In a reliable in vivo skin irritation study, New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to a solution of LAS-TEA (60% solution) for 4 hours and an occlusive dressing was applied. The test material was irritating to the skin. In a second unreliable skin irritation study, rabbits were dermally exposed to a solution of LAS-TEA (50% solution) for 4 hours and an occlusive dressing was applied. Within 24 hours after application of the test material a slight necrosis and hardening of the skin were observed. On the 6th and 8th days scabs were seen in almost all treated animals suggesting corrosive effects.
Supporting information on analogues
LAS Na:
Skin irritation data from a single study that is comparable to guideline studies is available. The study shows that LAS Na is irritant to the skin (Cat. 2) according to GLP based on persistent irritation.
TEA:
Data for TEA suggest that it is not irritating to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. In a skin irritation test performed according to OECD 404, three rabbits were exposed to TEA using an occlusive application for 4 hours. The test substance was not a skin irritant. Several other studies, in which rabbits were exposed for up to 20 hours, yielded similar results (BASF 1956, 1966, 1967, 1971).
In a study with 6 human volunteers, 2 cm2-patches soaked with the test material were applied for 24 hours to the upper arm, and skin irritation was scored upon patch removal and 24 hours thereafter (BASF AG, 1930). Besides slight biting and reddening in 1 subject, no irritation was observed and thus, the test substance was judged non-irritating.
Eye irritation
LAS TEA:
In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of Marlopon AT50 (CAS 68411-31-4; 50% LAS TEA , 1% neutral oil, 1% triethanolamine, 3.5% treithanolamine sulfate, water) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of white rabbits (3/sex). Corneal opacity effects were not fully reversible within 21 days post-application for almost all the animals tested. This suggests that the substance may have caused permanent damage. Based on the results of this study the substance is classified as damaging to the eye.
Supporting information on analogues (not provided)
LAS Na:
An eye irritation study comparable to OECD guideline 404 shows that LAS Na is a Category 1 eye irritant.
TEA:
In an eye irritation test equivalent to OECD guideline 405, 6 rabbits/dose were exposed to undiluted TEA at dose volumes of 0.01, 0.03, and 0.1 ml. TEA was not an eye irritant under the conditions of this study (, 1980). The same conclusion was reached in an eye irritation test (non GLP-compliant, according to internal BASF standards), in which 50 µl of the test substance was instilled into the eyes of 2 rabbits, and irritation was scored 10 min, 1 and 24 hours and 8 days after administration (BASF AG, 1971). In addition, no eye irritation was observed in response to the application of 0.5 mL 20% TEA in water at pH 10 and pH 8 (BASF AG, 1956). Two other studies (performed according to internal BASF standards) demonstrated some mild irritation due to the application of 50 µl undiluted TEA to the rabbit eye, which was not fully reversible within 8 days in one animal (BASF AG, 1966, 1967). Overall, TEA is judged not to be irritating to the eyes.

An occlusive dressing was applied. Animals were then observed for14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Within 24 hours after application of the test material a slight necrosis and hardening of the skin were observed. The response data for erythema and edema can be seen in the table above. On the 6th and 8th days scabs were seen in all treated animals (except for No5). Erythema and oedema were observed in all animals. Within 10 to 14 days after application the formed scab was lost and scar tissue was observed on the skin surface.In this study, Marlopon AT 50 is corrosive to the skin.

- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of white rabbits (3/sex). The eyes were not washed after application of the substance. Animals were observed for 21 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize. Unlike all the other effects measured (such as appearance of iris, conjunctivae, chemosis and discharge) corneal opacity effects were not fully reversible within 21 days post-application for almost all the animals tested. This suggests that the substance may have caused permanent damage to the eye of the rabbit.
Based on the results of this study the substance is classified as damaging to the eye (Category 1).
Reference
Unlike the other endpoints, corneal opacity effects, although described as moderate irritation, were not fully reversible within 21 days post-application for almost all the animals tested. This suggests that the substance may have caused permanent damage to the eye of the rabbit.
