Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study according to OECD TG 404 the test material was applied under semiocclusive conditions for 4 hours to the shaved skin of 3 rabbits. Skin irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours using the Draize scale. Erythema (grade 1) and oedema (grade 1 - 2) was observed in all animals 24 hours to days 7 - 10 after treatment. In addition, induration of the skin, laceration and peeling of the skin was noted in all animals. The effects partly lasted up to day 11 after patch removal. The test material should therefore be regarded as irritating to the skin of rabbits. No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

According to classification criteria Butanoylanilin is an irritant to the skin.
