Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion
The skin irritation potential of propylidentrimethanol, propoxylated (CAS No. 25723-16-4, EC No. 500-041-9) was investigated in an in vivo study performed according to OECD guideline 404 under GLP conditions (rel 1-key, rabbit, OECD 404, Safepharm, 2002c, 1691/006). 0.5 mL of the unchanged test substance was applied to the clipped skin of three New Zealand White rabbits under semi-occlusive conditions. 4 h after application the patch was removed from each animal and residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water. Approx. 1 h following the removal of the patch as well as 24, 48 and 72 h later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scheme. The test substance produce no skin reaction in any animal at any observation time point. Therefore, propylidentrimethanol, propoxylated is considered not irritating to the skin.
Eye irritation / serious eye damage
Propylidentrimethanol, propoxylated (CAS No. 25723-16-4, EC No. 500-041-9) was examined for its eye irritation potential in an in vivo study performed according to OECD guideline 405 under GLP conditions (rel 1-key, rabbit, OECD 405, Safepharm, 2002d, 1691/007). Initially, a single rabbit was treated and a volume of 0.1 mL of the test substance was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye. The left eye remained untreated and was used as control. Immediately after administration, an assessment of the initial pain reaction was made. After consideration of the ocular responses of the first treated animal, two additional animals were treated. Assessment of occular lesions was made approx. 1, 24. 48 and 72 h as well as 7 days following treatment according to the Draize scheme. Scattered or diffuse areas of corneal opacity were noted in two treated eyes 24 h after treatment resulting in corneal opacity scores of 1, fully reversible within 48 h. Iridial inflammation was observed in all treated eyes 24 h after treatment with individual scores of 1 but was fully reversible within 48 h. Moderate conjunctival irritation (redness) was noted in all treated eyes (individual scores of 2, 2 and 1 after 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively, in all animals) and fully reversed within 7 days. In addition, minimal conjunctival chemosis was observed in all animals at the 24 and 48 h reading points (individual scores 2/1 for two rabbits and 2/2 for the third animals at 24 and 48 h, respectively). The conjunctival irritation was not apparent any more 72 h after treatment. In conclusion, propylidentrimethanol, propoxylated is considered not irritating to eyes.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on skin and eye irritation with propylidentrimethanol, propoxylated (CAS No. 25723-16-4, EC No. 500-041-9) do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
