semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): about 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours. Observations made half an hour after removal of the dressings, and also 24, 48, and 72 hours after application of the test substance.
Number of animals:
4
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
Area of exposure: Two patches 2.5 x 2.5 cm on each animal
Type of wrap if used: Gauze patches were secured with a cross of 1 cm wide adhesive tape, and fixed with Scanpor tape, 4.5 cm width, loosely wound round the trunk. The test site was clipped as closely as possible with an electric clipper on the day before the experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
A very mild irritant response was seen in one rabbit: the substance is not classified according to CLP.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal irritation test was performed by Scantox, Denmark on behalf of Perstorp Polyols, Sweden (subcontracted through Toxicon, Sweden), to determine the skin irritant properties of the test substance CTF to rats. The study was conducted to GLP and according to OECD Test Guideline 404. The neat liquid test substance was applied to the skin of four female rabbits for a period of four hours. Observations of the irritant response were made shortly after the removal of the test substance, and 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure. Very slight erythema was seen on one rabbit which persisted for the duration of the observation period (24 -72 hours); no signs of erythema or oedema were seen in any of the other three rabbits. It was concluded that CTF should not be classified as irritating to skin under the CLP Regulation.
