Description of key information

There are no skin or eye irritation data for HMDTMP (4-7Na). Therefore, data have been read-across from HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9). See attachment to Section 13 for justification of read-across within HMDTMP Category.

 

The key skin irritation study for HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9), conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, concluded that the test substance was not irritating to skin (Safepharm Laboratories, 1982).

 

The key eye irritation study for HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9), conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP, concluded that test substance was not irritating to rabbit eyes (Safepharm Laboratories, 1982).

 

The HMDTMP sodium salt in both key studies was an aqueous solution with 25% acid content. Therefore, it is prudent to consider that these results may underestimate the irritancy potential of HMDTMP (4-7Na).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material produced no evidence of positive ocular irritation in any rabbit. A dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was observed in one rabbit at the one hour reading only. Mild conjunctival inflammation, with or without slight swelling was observed in all three rabbits at this reading. The reactions had ameliorated completely in two rabbits by the 48 hours reading. Mild conjunctival inflammation only was seen in the remaining rabbit until the 48 hour observation.

Additional information

There are no skin or eye irritation data for HMDTMP (4-7Na). Therefore, data have been read-across from HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9). See attachment to Section 13 for justification of read-across within HMDTMP Category.

 

The key skin irritation study for HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9), was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP (Safepharm Laboratories, 1982). Following 4-hour single topical application of 0.5 ml undiluted test substance, kept under occlusive dressing onto the skin of 3 rabbits, skin reactions were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after test substance removal. The test material produced minimal cutaneous irritation in 1/3 rabbits. There was no evidence of corrosion in any animal. Very slight erythema was observed in one rabbit at the one hour reading only. Two rabbits did not show any observable response to treatment throughout the 72-hour observation period. The study concluded that the test substance was not irritating to rabbit skin.

 

The key eye irritation study for HMDTMP-xNa (CAS 56744-47-9), was conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (Safepharm Laboratories, 1982).

Following single ocular instillation of 0.1 ml undiluted test material into the eyes of 3 rabbits, eye irritation reactions were observed at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours following exposure. The test material produced no evidence of positive ocular irritation in any rabbit. A dulling of the normal lustre of the cornea was observed in one rabbit at 1-hour reading only. Mild conjunctival inflammation, with or without slight swelling was observed in all three rabbits at this reading. The reactions had ameliorated completely in two rabbits by the 48-hour reading. Mild conjunctival inflammation only was seen in the remaining rabbit until the 48 hour observation. The study concluded the test substance was not irritating to rabbit eyes.

 

The test material used in the key skin and eye irritation studies was an aqueous solution with 25% active acid content. For skin irritation, the applied volume of 0.5 ml is equivalent to an estimate of 0.2 g active acid, 0.2 g active salt. For eye irritation, the applied volume of 0.1 ml is equivalent to an estimate of 0.03 g active acid, 0.04 g active salt.

 

Sodium and potassium salts of HMDTMP may be placed on the market in products where the number of sodium or potassium ions ranges from 1 to 8. The available study data are for a sodium salt where x=6. The pH of aqueous solutions of these salts is dependent on the value of “x”. The irritation/corrosion properties of the solutions are determined by the pH.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, no classification is required for skin or eye irritation of HMDTMP (4-7Na) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Reliable studies for skin and eye irritation of the sodium salt demonstrate a low degree of irritation, well below the threshold for classification.
