Irritation parameter:
other: necrosis
Time point:
other: 1 day
Score:
>= 3 - <= 5
Reversibility:
no data
Remarks on result:
other: Superficial to deep necrosis was observed on day one, so the dosing was discontinued and all animals were sacrificed.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
24 hour contact with the test substance resulted in slight to moderate hyperemia, slight to moderate edema and superficial to deep necrosis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
[2-(perfluorobutyl)ethyl]dichloro(methyl) silane has been tested for skin irritation in rabbits on abraded and unabraded skin, in a study conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD 404 and in compliance with the skin. It is concluded by the study authors that the test substance is severely irritating to the skin, probably equivalent to Category 1 (corrosive).
