Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Reaction product of Crude sludge and Calcium oxide. Crude sludge is the mixture of by-products of petroleum hydrocarbons refining (especially Total petroleum hydrocarbons, Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, acid-refined heavy petroleum distillates). The Crude sludge is neutralised by calcium oxide in the ratio 80:20. The maturing process proceeds under ambient conditions and takes for at least 3 days. Subsequently, the reaction product is processed mechanically.
EC Number:
930-592-4
Molecular formula:
Not available

Any other information on results incl. tables

The following changes were observed on eye at 1 hour after application:

conjunctivae – diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible;

chemosis – some swelling above normal in all rabbits.

The effects on conjunctivae (diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible or some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected)) were observed in all animals at the 24 hours after application.

The effects on conjunctivae (lower eyelid – whitish focus) were observed in all animals from 48 hours to the 5th day. In two animals change on the conjunctivae persisted to the 6 day. On the 7th day no alterations appeared. The test substance was irrigated with water 24 hours after application. The test substance was not irrigated totally by the reason of sticking the test substance on the conjunctivae sac (lower eyelid). These remainders caused change of the conjunctivae (lower eyelid - whiting focus).

 

  

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested for the assessment of eye irritation/corrosion effects using albino rabbit (New Zealand Albino breed). The test was performed according to the Method B.5 Acute Toxicity: Eye Irritation/Corrosion. Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008.

The test was performed initially using one animal. Because a corrosive effect was not observed in initial test, the response was confirmed using two additional animals.

The following changes were observed on eye at 1 hour after application: conjunctivae - diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible; chemosis – some swelling above normal in all rabbits. The effects on conjunctivae (diffuse, crimson colour, individual vessels not easily discernible or some blood vessels hyperaemic (injected)) were observed in all animals at the 24 hours after application. The effects on conjunctivae (lower eyelid - whitish focus) were observed in all animals from 48 hours to the 5th day. In two animals change on the conjunctivae persisted to the 6thday. On the 7thday no alterations appeared. The test substance was irrigated with water 24 hours after application. The test substance was not irrigated totally by the reason of sticking the test substance on the conjunctivae sac (lower eyelid). These remainders caused change of the conjunctivae (lower eyelid - whiting focus).

No clinical signs of systemic intoxication were detected.

 

Evaluation of results after single application demonstrated that the test substance is not irritating for eye of rabbit.
