Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
Diamino Trimethylphenylindane
IUPAC Name:
Diamino Trimethylphenylindane
Test material form:
solid: particulate/powder
Details on test material:
Purity:
97.6% (49.9% 6-4’ isomer, 47.7 5-4’ isomer; per Protocol)

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand strain were used in the evaluation
of the primary skin irritating properties of the test material. The test
procedure was modeled after that of Draize et al, *
Prior to the application of the test material, the hair was clipped from
the back and flanks of each rabbit. Two test sites located lateral to the midline
of the back approximately ten centimeters apart were selected. One of the
two sites was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular
to the other two, while the other test site remained intact.

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: Shaved and abraded
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
Exactly 0.5 ml of undiluted test material (0.5 g of test material moistened
with a minimum amount of water in the case of solids) was applied to each of
the test sites on each rabbit.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
Observations at 24 and 72 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
Prior to the application of the test material, the hair was clipped from
the back and flanks of each rabbit. Two test sites located lateral to the midline
of the back approximately ten centimeters apart were selected. One of the
two sites was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular
to the other two, while the other test site remained intact.
Exactly 0.5 ml of undiluted test material (0.5 g of test material moistened
with a minimum amount of water in the case of solids) was applied to each of
the test sites on each rabbit. The test sites were immediately occluded with
two-inch square gauze patches. The patches were placed directly over the
test sites and secured with masking tape. The trunk of each animal was then
wrapped with impervious plastic sheeting. The wrap held the patches in position
and retarded evaporation of the test material during the 24-hour exposure
period.
At the end of 24 hours, the plastic wrappings, patches, and all residual
test material were removed. The intact and abraded test sites were
examined and scored separately for erythema and edema on a graded scale of
0 to 4. After 72 hours, the sites were again examined and scored.
In evaluating the average irritation present, the mean scores f ulerythema
and edema of the intact test sites after 24 and 72 hours were added.
Similarly, the mean scores for erythema and edema of the abraded test sites
after 24 and 72 hours were added. These two values were totaled and divided
by four to obtain the mean primary irritation score.

Primiary Irritation Score 1.6

Erythema scores at 24 and 72 hours are probably due to mechanical

irritation during the removal of the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Primiary Irritation Score 1.6 which is indicative of mild irritation.
Executive summary:

Young albino rabbits of the New Zealand strain were used in the evaluation

of the primary skin irritating properties of the test material. The test

procedure was modeled after that of Draize et al.

Prior to the application of the test material, the hair was clipped from

the back and flanks of each rabbit. Two test sites located lateral to the midline

of the back approximately ten centimeters apart were selected. One of the

two sites was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular

to the other two, while the other test site remained intact.

Exactly 0.5 ml of undiluted test material (0.5 g of test material moistened

with a minimum amount of water in the case of solids) was applied to each of

the test sites on each rabbit. The test sites were immediately occluded with

two-inch square gauze patches. The patches were placed directly over the

test sites and secured with masking tape. The trunk of each animal was then

wrapped with impervious plastic sheeting. The wrap held the patches in position

and retarded evaporation of the test material during the 24-hour exposure

period.

At the end of 24 hours, the plastic wrappings, patches, and all residual

test material were removed. The intact and abraded test sites were

examined and scored separately for erythema and edema on a graded scale of

0 to 4. After 72 hours, the sites were again examined and scored.

In evaluating the average irritation present, the mean scores f ulerythema

and edema of the intact test sites after 24 and 72 hours were added.

Similarly, the mean scores for erythema and edema of the abraded test sites

after 24 and 72 hours were added. These two values were totaled and divided

by four to obtain the mean primary irritation score.
