None of the animals showed an edema reaction at any time point. Very slight edema (grade 1) were seen in all animal. In animal 2 and 3, erythema (visible at the 1 h reading) had subsided after 24 h. Animal 1 displayed a delayed reaction. But the effect observed at 48 h and 72 h was reversible within 8 days.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Diisotridecyl adipate showed only a very weak response in a primary dermal irritation test (only erythema grade 1, fully reversible within 1 to 8 d). Based on the results of the test performed, diisotridecyl adipate is not irritating
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study, 3 male young adult White Vienna rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL diisotridecyl adipate. The test substance was administered for 4 h soaked on a test patch of 2.5 x 2.5 cm and held in place by semiocclusive dressing. Animals then were observed for 8 days. Irritation was scored according OECD test guideline 404.

 

For all three rabbits, only very slight erythema were observed. They fully disappeared with 1 to 8 days. Edema were not observed at all after treatment.

 

In this study, diisotridecyl adipate is not irritating to the skin of rabbits (Rossbacher/BASF, 1992a).

 

This study is assessed as acceptable. It satisfies the guideline requirements (OECD TG 404) for an acute dermal irritation/corrosion study.
