Details on test material:
50% DNNSA (DI C8-C10, BRANCHED, C9 RICH, ALKYLNAPHTHALENE SULFONIC ACID)
50% light paraffinic petroleum oil

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Six healthy mature male albino rabbits of the New Zealand variety were selected from the stock colony.

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: 6 sites abraded and 6 sites intact skin
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml of 50% solution in light paraffinic petroleum oil
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
24 and 72 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
Prior to application of the sample, the backs were
clipped free of hair. The skin was left intact at six test sites and was
abraded on the other six. 0.5 ml of a liquid test material was
applied to an area of skin approximately 1 inch square on each rabbit. Patches
of surgical gauze measuring 1 inch square, 2 single layers thick, were applied
over the samples and covered with a non-reactive tape. The rabbits were then
wrapped with a rubber dam.
After the 24-hour exposure, the dam and tape were removed and the skin reactions
evaluated. An evaluation was also made at 72 hours after application.
The reactions were scored according to the methods described in the Federal
Hazardous Substances Act.

Interpretation of results:
not classified

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance is a moderate skin irritant but according to classification criteria as defined in GHS and CLP not subject to classification.
Executive summary:

A 50% DNNSA formulation in light paraffinic petroleum oil was tested on six healthy mature male albino rabbits (New Zealand variety) for evaluation of primary irritation. Prior to application of the sample, the backs were clipped free of hair. The skin was left intact at six test sites and was abraded on the other six. 0.5 ml of a liquid test material was applied to an area of skin approximately 1 inch square on each rabbit. Patches of surgical gauze measuring 1 inch square, 2 single layers thick, were applied over the samples and covered with a non-reactive tape. The rabbits were then wrapped with a rubber dam. After the 24-hour exposure, the dam and tape were removed and the skin reactions evaluated. An evaluation was also made at 72 hours after application. The reactions were scored according to the methods described in the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

RESULTS

The primary irritation index was 4.04 indicating moderate irritation.
