Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The Primary Irritation Index for 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was 3.7 after 24hours.
Based on the scores, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was considered to be minimal irritant to rabbit eyes. - Executive summary:
A Primary eye irritation test was carried out to assess the irritation potential of 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) in rabbits.
Single dose of 0.005,0.02, 0.10, or 0.5 ml of undiluted Nonoxynol 2 was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 (male and female) rabbits. The treated eyes remained unwashed throughout the test. The eyes were examined within 1 h unstained and at 24 h after fluorescein staining. The rabbits were observed for signs of irritation at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days post –instillation of the test chemical. Thereactions observed were scored according Draize method.
The Primary Irritation Index for4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was 3.7 after 24hours.
Based on the scores, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was considered to be minimal irritant to rabbit eyes.
