Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight or well-defined erythema with and without very slight to moderate oedema was observed in all three animals. Desquamation of the stratum corneum was observed in all three animals on Day 9 and one animal on Day 10. The skin was normal by Day 10 (two animals) or Day 11 (one animal).

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a skin irritating study conducted using a protocol comparable to OECD 404 and to GLP (reliability score 1) triethoxyisobutylsilane was mildly irritaing to the skin of rabbits, but this irritation did not meet the criteria for classification.
