Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
other: No scores available
Remarks on result:
other: Minimal irritation was observed in 2 of 5 rabbits treated with 0.01 mL test material. The remaining three rabbits exhibited no evidence of dermal irritation.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
The uncovered application of 0.01mL amounts of undiluted methyl butanol to the clipped skin of the rabbit belly caused no response on three animals and minimal capillary injection on the other two.
Other effects:
No other effects reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
At the dose examined, minimal dermal irritation was observed in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The dermal irritation of 2 -methylbutanol was examined. The uncovered application of 0.01 mL amounts of undiluted methyl butanol to the clipped skin of the rabbit belly caused no response on three animals and minimal capillary injection on the other two.
