Any other information on results incl. tables

The skin findings were reversible in all animals within 48 hours after removal of the patches; thus, the study was terminated after 72 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions chosen Triethylenglycoldivinylether does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin.
Executive summary:

The potential of Triethylenglycoldivinylether to cause acute dermal irritation or corrosion was assessed by a single topical application of 0.5 ml of the test substance to the intact skin of 3 whiterabbits for 4 hours under semi-occlusive dressing. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 0.2 for erythema and 0.0 for edema. The skin findings were reversible in all animals within 48 hours after removal of the patches; thus the study was terminated after 72 hours. Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings Triethylenglycoldivinylether does not give indication of an irritant property to the skin.
