Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 8 x 8 cm hair-free clipped area on the dorsal trunk
- % coverage: not mentioned
- Type of wrap if used: The test site was covered with a 4 ply, 2.5 x 2.5 cm surgical gauze patch, secured in place with a strip of non-irritating adhesive tape. The entire trunk of each animal was loosely wrapped with a semi-permeable dressing (othopedic stockinette) wich was secured on both edges with strips of tape.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with room temperature tap water and a clean cloth to remove as much residual test substance as possible
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Erythema and edema were not observed at any time throughout the study. No other signs of irritation were observed during the study. The primary irritation index of 0.0 of a possible 8.0 was obtained from the observations at 24, 48 and 72 hours, and was used to give the test substance Alcohols, C18-22, distn. residues (CAS BNo.: 1160164-88-4) a descriptive rating of non-irritant.

Executive summary:

A primary dermal irritation study was conducted in three albino rabbits using test substance Alcohols, C18 -22, distn. residues (CAS No: 1160164 -88-4). There was one intact test site per animal. Each test site was treated with 500 mg of test substance moistened with 0.1 mL of deionized water and covered with a semi-permeable dressing. The test substance was maintained in contact with the skin for 4 hours. Observations for dermal irritation and defects were made at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressings. Erythema and edema were not observed at any time throughout the study. No other signs of irritation were observed during the study. Based on the Primary Irritation Index (PII) of 0.0, the test substance was rated non-irritating.
