Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after the patch removal, one animal (no. 11368) developed very slight erythema on the treated skin surface (score 1). The other two animals (No. 11325, 11389) developed no primary irritation symptoms, such as erythema and oedema, or other adverse effects during the observation period, either at the treatment or the control application areas.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item SIKA Hardener LH is not considered to be irritant to rabbits' skin.
Executive summary:

Sika Hardener LH (VP) was tested for skin irritation properties in a study with albino New Zealand White rabbits. The test material was applied to the intact skin of rabbits as a single dose of 0.5 mL. The irritation symptoms were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the patch removal. In one animal, very slight erythema were recorded 24 and 48 hours after patch removal (score 1), on the treated skin surface. All animals were free of irritation symptoms (erythema and oedeme) 72 hours after patch removal. Thus, the study was terminated after 72 hours.

The animals' individual mean scores (considering readings at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for erythema and oedema were 0.66. 0.00 and 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00 respectively. The observed symptoms were evaluated as fully reversible alterations.

No skin irritation properties were found in the test with Sika Hardener LH.
