Executive summary:

A guinea-pig maximization test was perform for the evalution of skin sensitization potential of the test item. Ten female Hartley albino guinea pigs (350 to 400 grams) were used. For induction, nape hair was shaved and about 50 mg of the test item at a concentration of 10% in white petrolatum was applied to a round cloth 1.5 cm in diameter on Torii's patch plaster and applied to the napes of the guinea pigs. Dermicel cloth tape, Reston foam pads, and then Dermicel cloth tape were placed over the plaster. The test materials were removed 48 hours after application. This procedure was repeated three times a week for two weeks. Two weeks after the end of the induction procedure, the flanks of the guinea pigs were shaved, and 1% and 0.1 % in white petrolatum were occluded with Finn chambers on Scanpor on the shaved flank areas. Dermicel cloth tape, Reston foam pads and Dermicel cloth tape were applied in the same manner as for induction. The test materials were removed 48 hours after the application. The degree of reaction ,was read at 1, 24, 48 hours and one week after the removal of the test materials. No skin sensitization reaction was observed. Test item was determined not to be a skin sensitizant.
