unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume with unit): 0.5 mL aliquot
- Concentration (if solution): Test substance used as received (unchanged)

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

Dermal irritation readings for erythema and edema were performed at 0.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after test substance removal. Grading and scoring of irritation were performed in accordance with the Draize scoring system.

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² (application site was located approximately 5-7 centimeters down from the backbone).
- % coverage: not specified
- Type of wrap if used: The test substance was covered with a 2.5 cm² - 2 layer gauze patch held in place with non-irritating Kendall Curity
Standard Porous Tape and the patch was then covered with a semi-occlusive plastic overwrap secured in place with Kendall Curity Standard Porous Tape for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, at the end of the 4 hour contact period residual material was removed from the site;
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days) Dermal irritation readings for erythema and edema were performed at 0.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after
test substance removal.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: Grading and scoring of irritation are performed in accordance with the Draize scoring system. The values for erythema and eschar formation are summed and divided by the number of animals scored for each observation period. Values for edema formation are summed and divided by the number of animals scored for each observation period. The average value for erythema/eschar formation and the average value for edema formation are summed to obtain the daily
irritation score.

Conclusions:

There were minimal irritation reactions in all of the test subjects which cleared by the 168 hour observation. The maximum skin irritation score was 1.33 at the 0.5 hour observation. The primary skin irritation index was calculated to be 0.67.

In accordance with the OPPTS Guidelines, Tall Oil TEA Salt, LAB 4483 meets the requirements for EPA Toxicity Category IV for dermal effects. According to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments), Tall oil TEA salt will not be classified for skin Irritation. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments), Tall oil TEA salt will not be classified for skin irritation.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal irritation study in male rabbits was performed using Tall Oil TEA Salt in accordance with U.S. EPA Health Effects Test Guidelines, OPPTS 870.2500 and OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Test No. 404. This study is reliable (Klimisch 1, reliable without restriction) with no deviations, and meets current US EPA and OECD guidence requirements.

Tall Oil TEA Salt, LAB 4473 was applied at a dose of 0.5 ml to an unabraded site on a clipped area of each of three albino rabbits. In all three dosed animals the site of application was graded for indication of skin reactions at 0.5, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after test substance removal. There were minimal skin irritation reactions in all test subjects which cleared by the 168 hour observation. The maximum skin irritation score was 1.33 at the 0.5 hour observation point. The primary skin irritation index was 0.67.

In accordance with the OPPTS Guidelines, Tall Oil TEA Salt LAB 4483 meets the requirements for EPA Toxicity Category IV for dermal effects. In accordence with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015) (including all amendments), and according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments), Tall oil TEA salt does not warrant classiifcation for skin irritation.
