Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
The primary irritation index of Toluene-2,5-diamine, 2.5% w/v solution was calculated to be: 0.3; and was determined to be slightly irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

Irritant effects of Toulene-1,5-Diamine on rabbit skin was determined following Method of testing primary irritant substances. The Code of Federal Regulations, Title 16, Section 1500.41

The study was designed to evaluate the irritant effect of Toluene-2,5-diamine to the abraded and intact skin of three albino rabbits, clipped free of hair.

 

The 2.5% w/v solution of Toulene-2,5-diamine (prepared as aqueous solution containing 0.05% sodium sulphite (pH 7.0)) was applied on (Left) Intact and (right) abraded skin site for the 24-hour period of exposure.

 

After 24 hours exposure, the patches were removed and observed forerythema and oedema formation. The readings were made at 24h and 72h from onset of exposure.

Very slight erythema with very slight oedema was observed in the intact site of one animal, while very slight oedema was observed at abraded skin site of same animal at the 24 h reading. However, these reactions reversed at 72h reading.

 

The other two animals did not show any observable response to treatment throughout the 72h of observation period. Therefore it was concluded that the test substance "Toulene-2,5-diamine" is very slightly irritating to rabbit skin.

 

Based on the above, the primary irritation index of Toluene-2,5-diamine, 2.5% w/v solution was calculated to be 0.3 and was determined to be slightly irritating to rabbit skin
