Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

The non-irritant level was defined as the highest level that no tissue damage and/or inflammatory reactions were clearly observed.

Non-irritant level (skin):
SnCl4: 5%
SnCl4 + 0.25% SLS: 5%

Non-irritant level (oral mucosa):
SnCl4: 0.05%
SnCl4 + 0.25% SLS: NA*
* - Not available; inconsistent results were obtained.

The test substance (SnCl4) was determined to be an irritant to oral mucosa at levels >0.05%.
 The combination SnCl4 + 0.25% SLS experiments resulted in no evidence of lymphocytic infiltration. Results of the combined SnCl4/SLS tests gave results similar to tests where 0.25% SLS was applied to the mucosa 1 minute prior to applying the SnCl4 solution.

In the sensitization tests, no reaction could be determined in animals sensitized with 3% SnCl4/SLS, followed by oral elicitation with 0.05% SnCl4.
