RANGE FINDING TESTS:
In pre-testing the test material was not irritating to the skin in any of the 25 subjects. A patch of the test material was applied to normal sites of the forearms or backs for 48 hours under occlusion.

Executive summary:

3,5,5- trimethylhexanol was tested in a maximisation study for its skin sensitising potential in 25 healthy volunteers. The test substance (8% in petrolatum) was applied to the skin for 48 hours under an occlusive dressing. No sensitisation reactions were noted (Belsito et al. 2010; p. S33 and Table 10 on p. S41). A synopsis of the study is available (Kligman1977).

The study is considered to be reliable and suitable for assessment of this endpoint.
