Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Soybean oil, epoxidized, reaction products with methanol, hydrolyzed, polymerized
IUPAC Name:
Soybean oil, epoxidized, reaction products with methanol, hydrolyzed, polymerized
Details on test material:
Lot/Batch: 08097

The substance was tested by the test house using a trade name that is considered confidential business information. The name assigned to the substance has therefore been changed to Cargill BP-A.

Clinical Observations: No overt signs of toxicity were evident in any of the animals during the course of the study.

Dermal Irritation: No signs of erythema or edema were observed in any of the three animals during the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test substance was evaluated for its potential to produce skin irritation and/or corrosion after a single topical application for four hours to the intact skin of New Zealand White rabbits. No signs of erythema or edema were noted at any observation period. Based upon the evaluation criteria of the protocol, the test substance is considered a non-irritant.
