Test system
- Type of coverage:
- other: non-relevant, in vitro study with the model EPISKIN-SM
- Preparation of test site:
- other: non-relevant, in vitro study with the model EPISKIN-SM
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- not required
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 10 mg (26.3 mg/cm2)
The test material was applied after application of distilled water (5 µl) to the reconstructed human epidermis (Rhe), so as to achive the maximum possible contact. - Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 15 ± 0.5 min and 42 h post-incubation
- Details on study design:
- Pre-test: the non-specific MTT-reducing capacity of Titanium carbide was assessed prior to the intitiation of the main study.
Main test: the tissues of the EPISKIN-SM kit were incubated, and therafter treated with each dose group in triplicate. Phosphate buffered saline was used as negative control and 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate in distilled water as positive control. Exposure lasted 15 min and after washing with PBS a 42 hpost-exposure incubation followed. After incubation 2 ml of MTT were transferred in each well. Incubation of 3 h followed. The OD was measured at 550 nm.
Barrier function and morphology, were provided by the Rhe model supplier to assure the proper functioning of the tissues.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Titanium carbide is no irritant in the human skin model EPISKIN-SM.
- Executive summary:
In this in vitro dermal irritation study with the three-dimensional human skin model EPISKIN-SM, the irritation potential of Titanium carbide was examined. The test substance was applied topically on the tissue for 15 min, and thereafter the exposed tissue culture was incubated for 42 h. A positive and a negative control were used. The determination of cytotoxic effects was performed with the MTT assay. Irritation potential of the test susbstance was determined based on the cytotoxicity observed (mean tissue viability). The results revealed a mean relative tissue viability higher than 50%, and hence, the test substance is not a skin irritant under the conditions of this test.
