Irritant / corrosive response data:
Well defined erythema was observed in 5 out of 6 animals at 1 hour after removal of the test material. One animal had slight erythema.
Burnt aspect of the exposure area was observed at 24 hours in 5 out of 6 animals. One animal had well defined erythema.
Burnt aspects and dryness of the exposure area was evident at 48 and 72 hours post-treatment in 4 out of 6 animals. One animal exhibited only burnt aspect and another well defined erythema.
Other effects:
One animal was found dead before the end of the 14-day study period. Reversability of the corrosive effects were not confirmed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (corrosive) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the available information from the key skin irritation/corrosion study for N,N',N''-tricyclohexyl-1-methylsilanetriamine, the test material is reported to be corrosive to skin.
