Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanol
EC Number:
203-953-2
EC Name:
2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)diethanol
Cas Number:
112-27-6
Molecular formula:
C6H14O4
IUPAC Name:
2,2'-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(oxy)]diethanol

Method

Ethical approval:
confirmed and informed consent free of coercion received
Details on study design:
Occlusive patches applied to the infrascapular area of the back, either to the right or left of the midline. On day 1, the material was applied to the designated path sites. 0.2 ml of each test substance were applied. Twenty-four hours later, the patches were removed, the sites evaluated and identical patches reapplied to the same sites. This was repeated daily for a period of twenty-one days. The patches applied on Friday were not removed until Monday. Occlusive patches were non-porous, plastic film adhesive bandages with 2 cm x 2 cm Webril.
Exposure assessment:
not specified

Results and discussion

Results:
The mean primary dermal irritation index (PDII) for TEG for days 1-21 was 13.7. No significant irritation was observed after repeated exposure to TEG.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No significant irritation was observed after repeated exposure to triethylene glycol in a human cumulative irritation patch test.
