Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

Undiluted tritolyl phosphite produced somewhat delayed, but strong, flaring, and prolonged primary irritation of guinea pig skin. On the basis of the above data, the increased sensitivity of the skin to further contact would appear to be on a primary irritancy rather than on an allergic basis.
