IN-LIFE DATES: From: 2010-02-15 To: 2010-02-18

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: the untreated eye served as comparative control

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.1 mL

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hours

Observation period (in vivo):

1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance administration

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

3 (1 male, 2 females)

Details on study design:

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): all treated eyes were washed out with room temperature deionized water for one minute
- Time after start of exposure: immediately after recording the 24-hour observation


SCORING SYSTEM:
according to Draize, John H., Woodward, Geoffrey, and Calvery, Herbert O., Journal of Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., 82, 377-390 (1944)


TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: The treated eyes of all animals were examined without magnification under white room lighting provided by daylight-type fluorescent ceiling fixtures, and an additional source of white light affixed to the examination table or using a handheld flashlight.
After the 24-hour observation the corneas of all treated eyes were examined with a fluorescein sodium ophthalmic solution. A finoff ocular transilluminator with cobalt blue filter was utilized to enhance visualization of fluorescein staining.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the maximum average irritation score of 10.3, obtained 1 hour after treatment, the test substance was rated minimally irritating. Fluorescein staining did not occur in any of the eyes.

Executive summary:

An acute eye irritation study was conducted on three albino rabbits using test substance Alkenes, C11 -12, hydroformylation products, distn. residues (CAS No: 90622 -27 -8). 0.1 mL of the test substance was placed into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of each animal selected for testing. All treated eyes were washed with room temperature deionized water for one minute immediately after recording the 24-hour observation. There were no positive effects exhibited in any eyes at 48 hours after treatment. Non-positive irritation was clear by 72 hours, and the test substance was rated minimally irritating.
