Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Barium dodecairon nonadecaoxide
EC Number:
234-974-5
EC Name:
Barium dodecairon nonadecaoxide
Cas Number:
12047-11-9
Molecular formula:
Ba.Fe12O19
IUPAC Name:
dodecairon(3+) barium(2+) nonadecaoxidandiide
Details on test material:
Sample 10.058461.01 was tested.

Test animals

Species:
human
Strain:
other: human skin model (EPISKIN)

Test system

Type of coverage:
other: not applicable
Preparation of test site:
other: not applicable
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
other: Negative control: water
Amount / concentration applied:
For test sample 25 mg of substance was applied evenly to cover the skin, and it was moistened with distilled water to ensure good contact with the skin.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The assessment of skin corrosivity was carried out in two contact times according to OECD 431: 3 min and 1 h.
Observation period:
At the end of the exposure period, each tissue insert was washed with DPBS for twenty times from the skin surface. Every tissue replicate was treated in 0.3 ml of MTT solution 1 mg/mL. The plate was incubated for 3 hr at 37°C ± 1°C 5 % CO2. At the end of incubation each tissue insert was treated with 2ml of Isopropyl alcohol (dark, T room, overnight). Two replicates of extract solution (200 μl) were put into microplate’s wells and the optical density (OD) of the extracted (solubilised) dye at 570 nm was evaluated.
Number of animals:
For each contact time, three tissue replicates were used for sample treatment, three for positive control and three for the negative one.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
According to "In vitro Skin Corrosion Human Skin Model Test" Barium Hexaferrite was not corrosive for skin.
Executive summary:

Barium hexaferrite was tested in an in vitro model for skin corrosion (EPISKIN) according to EU B.40bis/OECD 431 guidelines. The substance was not corrosive for the skin.
