Other effects:
In one animal, a slight lesion (48 h) and scab formation (72 h) was observed at the application site. All animals showed desquamation at day 7. After 14 days, irritation effects had subsided, and no more findings were noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In a primary skin irritation test, diisopropylnaphthalene was found to be slightly irritating according to the scoring system of Draize. According to EU regulations, no classification as to skin irritation is required.
