Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1A (corrosive)

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under these experimental conditions, IPOPA is corrosive when applied to rabbits.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation of 3-Isopropoxypropylamine (IPOPA) was evaluated in one male New Zealand White rabbit according to OECD N° 404 Guideline. 0,5mL of IPOPA was applied during 3minutes, 1hour and 4hours in the rabbit on clipped area. The cutaneous reaction was observed one hour and then daily to day 15 after removal of the dressing.

After application of the substance during 3 minutes and 1 hour, a severe erythema (grade 4) was observed from day1 to 11. It was masked by an important necrosis of the skin thereafter. A severe oedema (grade4) was noted on day1. Necrosis and thickening of the skin were recorded from day 1or 2, up to the end of the observation period.

After a 4-hour exposure, a severe erythema was observed from days 1 to 4. It was masked by an important necrosis of the skin thereafter. Necrosis and thickening of the skin were recorded from day 1, up to the end of the observation period.

Under these experimental conditions, IPOPA has to be classified as corrosive.
