Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not Irritating
Conclusions:
The test chemical 4,4'-Methylenedianiline (CAS No: 101-77-9) was considered to be not irritating to the New Zealand White rabbits’ skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation study of 4,4'-Methylenedianiline (CAS No: 101-77-9) was conducted on eight (4/sex)New Zealand White rabbits according to Draize method to determine its skin irritation efficacy.

 

The 500mg of undiluted chemical was applied to the intact and abraded skin of shornshoulders and the hindquartersof each rabbit under occlusive condition for 24 hours. A 2 x 2 cm area of the shorn skin was abraded using a fine hypodermic needle. Injuries were deep enough to disturb the stratum corneum but not sufficiently deep to cause bleeding. The patches were covered by an occlusivepolyethylene which was secured in position by mean of an elastic adhesive bandage (3" Poroplast).

 

Reactions were assessed visually for the degree of erythema and oedema upto 7 days. In one rabbit, the abraded patch had a bruised appearance. This was thought to be due to damage of the dermis during abrasion.

 

Since none of the rabbit showed erythema or edema, the chemical 4,4'-Methylenedianiline (CAS No: 101-77-9) was considered to be not irritating to the New Zealand White rabbits’ skin.
