SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
Irritation parameter:
erythema score
Basis:
animal: Mean of animals (1-3)
Time point:
24/48/72 h
Score:
1.56
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 14 days
Irritation parameter:
edema score
Basis:
animal: Mean of animals (1-3)
Time point:

Score:
0.22
Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 48 hours
Irritation parameter:
primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
Basis:
animal: Mean of animals (1-3)
Time point:

Reversibility:
fully reversible within: 14 days
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Erythema and oedema scores were calculated by averaging the scores for erythema and oedema for all animals at 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively.
Other effects:
No physical or behavioural abnormalities were observed in any animal.
Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
C16/18 alpha olefins, isomerized were classified as not irritating according to EU classification. The 24-72 hour average erythema score was 1.56 and the 24-72 hour average oedema score was 0.22.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, young adultwhite rabbits (two males, one female) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of C16/18 isomerized alpha olefins for 4 hours to 6.25 cm2of the body. Animals then were observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (1959).

 

The test material produced well-defined erythema and very slight to slight oedema, which had all cleared by day 14 of observation. The 24-72 hour average erythema score was 1.56 and the 24-72 hour average oedema score was 0.22. In this study, C16/18 isomerized alpha olefin is not a dermal irritant based on EU classification.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted according to GLPs and OECD TG 404.
