unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml to test site area of 6cm2.



Duration of treatment / exposure:
Four hours.
Observation period:
Eight days.
Number of animals:
Three males.
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6cm2
- Type of wrap if used: Semi-occlusive non-irritating tape.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Not done
- Time after start of exposure: Not removed


SCORING SYSTEM: According to OECD 404 at 60 minutes, 24, 48, 72 hours and 4 to 8 days after the patch removal. If necessary, the observations were continued on a daily basis for up to 14 days to determine reversibility or irreversibility of the reactions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a skin irritation study conducted to OECD 404 and to GLP (reliability score 1), tetrapropyl orthosilicate was not irritating to the skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

Three Himalayan rabbits were exposed for four hours to 0.5 ml Silan TPN under semi-occlusive conditions on intact skin. The reactions of the intact skin were evaluated 60 minutes and then 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. If necessary, the observations were continued on a daily basis for up to 14 days to determine the reversibility of the reactions. An erythema (grade 1) was noted in two animals from 60 minutes up to seven days after the patch was removed. In the third animal, erythema (grade 1) was observed from 60 minutes up to 24 hours after the patch was removed.
