Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Isopentyl phenethyl ether
EC Number:
259-943-3
EC Name:
Isopentyl phenethyl ether
Cas Number:
56011-02-0
Molecular formula:
C13H20O
IUPAC Name:
isopentyl phenethyl ether
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test material name (as stated in the report): ANTHER
Appearance: Clear colourless liquid

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Rabbits aged of 9 - 12 weeks are used for each test. The whole dorsal surface is clipped 3 - 4 days before the test is due to start, and animals in the telogen phase of hair growth are selected.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent positive control
yes, concurrent negative control
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml of test material undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
24, 48 and 72 hours
Number of animals:
8 animals
Details on study design:
The test materials and appropriate standards are applied to the clipped dorsum of rabbits for 4 hours under individual semi-occlusive patches. After removal of the patches, the treated areas were wiped and examined for evidence of irritation. Further assessment are made 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment, and occasionally up to 7 days fater treatment.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Anther showed mainly effects 24 and 72 hours after treatment. This response was similiar to the control Geraniol.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The test substance ANTHER was determined to be moderate irritatnt to skin in this test conditions.Neverthless ANTHER does not meet the criteria to be classified according to the CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
Executive summary:

The Anther was examined for skin irritation potentia in this Rabbit covered patch skin irritation test dated on 24 April 1982, performed at Unilever research Laboratory.

0.5 ml of test material are applied to the clipped dorsum of the rabbits for 4 hours under a semi occlusive patch. The irritation reactions are assessed immediately after removal of the patch and after 24, 48 and 72 hours. Anther showed mainly effects 24 and 72 hours after treatment. This response was similiar to the control Geraniol.
