Irritant / corrosive response data:
3/3 rabbits had some or obvious chemosis and severe redness (conjunctivae, score 3 of 3) at the 1-hour reading time point (see Table 1). 24 hours after instillation of the test substance, 1/3 rabbits still exhibited some chemosis, which had cleared completely within 48 hours. The severity of the redness was slightly reduced in 2/3 rabbits and remained unchanged in 1/3 rabbits at the 24-hour reading time point. The chemosis was completely reversible within 72 hours. No effects on the cornea or iris were noted at any time point.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on all the available data, isononyl isononanoate is not considered to be irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

The results of the in vitro eye irritation and corrosion studies of isononyl isononanoate (Boue-Grabot, 2004) as well as an in vivo eye irritation studies with the analogue substance 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate (CAS 59219-71-5) (Dufour, 1990) demonstrate that isononyl isononanoate does not show the potential to cause eye irritation.
