Details on test animals or tissues and environmental conditions:

New Zealand White rabbits were received from Covance Research Products, Inc., Denver, PA on 13 May 2009 and acclimated for at least five days. Only animals in apparent good health were made available for study assignement. Prior to being selected for this study, both eyes were examined according to the Draize technique for any evidence of irritation or abnormalities of the cornea, iris and/or conjuctiva. A mini-maglite flashlight equipped with a high intensity bulb was used to aid in the examination. A single rabbit (female), free from evidence of ocular irritation or abnormalities, was assigned to the study without conscious bias.The animal was born on 24 January 2009. The pretest body weight was 2.9 kg. The animal was identified by cage notation and a uniquely numbered metal eartag. The animal was housed individually in a suspended cage. Paper bedding was placed beneath the cage and changed at least three times per week. Fresh PMI rabbit chow (Diet #5321) was provided daily. Water was available ad libitum. The animal room was temperature controlled and had a 12 hour light/dark photoperiod. The temperature range of the animal room was 66.0 - 76.5 degrees farenheit and the relative humidity was 48.5 - 99.5 %.

Test system

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

A 0.1 ml aliquot of the test item, as received, was placed by syringe into the conjunctival sac, which was formed by gently pulling the lower eyelid away from the eye. After instillation, the lid was held together for approximately one second to ensure adequte distribution of the test item.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

A single dose was applied at study initiation as described above.

Observation period (in vivo):

Using a mini-maglite flashlight equipped with a high intensity bulb, the treated eye of the rabbit was examined for irritation of the cornea, iris and conjunctiva at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and on days 7, 14 and 21 post dose. Sodium fluorescein dye procedures were used at the 24 hour observation interval up to day 21. The eye was examined with the aid of an ultraviolet light source. Ocular reactions were graded according to the numerical Draize technique. Additional signs were described.Body weights were recorded pretest and at termination. The general health of the animal was monitored at each observation time.

Number of animals or in vitro replicates:

A single animal was used for this study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Hexahydro-1,3,5-trimethy-s-triazine is corrosive.

Executive summary:

Objective: To determine the irritant or corrosivity effects, if any, of hexahydro-1,3,5 -trimethyl-s-triazine when instilled into the rabbit eye. This study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 405 "Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion".

Method synopsis: Initially, one healthy New Zealand White rabbit (female), free from evidence of ocular irritation and corneal abnormalities, was dosed with the test item; 0.1 ml was placed into the conjunctival sac of one eye. Based on the reactions of the initial animal, no additional animals were tested. The eye was examined pretest and scored by the Draize technique at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and on days 7, 14 and 21 postdose. Sodium fluorescein dye procedures were used at the 24 -hour observation interval up to day 21. Body weight was recorded pretest and at termination.

Summary: Corneal opacity, iritis and conjunctival irritation, noted in one eye, persisted to day 21. There were no abnormal physical signs noted during the observation period. Body weights were normal.

Conclusion: Hexahydro-1,3,5 -trimethyl-s-triazine is corrosive.
