Vehicle:
other: 10% w/v in Mineral Spirits
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
The test substance was in a suspension (10 % w/v) in Mineral Spirits.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hr application to skin, followed by 24 hr rest. Repeated for 10 applications.
Observation period:
24 and 48 hrs after challenge, which followed 2 week rest period after cycle of 10 applications (20 days)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 (mild irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The results of this study show only slight irritation (mean PDII of 1 at 24 hrs and a mean PDII of 0.4 at 48 hrs) after 10 repeated 24 hr applications to the skin and a subsequent challenge after a 2 week rest period.
Executive summary:

The results indicate that TPP is slightly irritating to the skin and not a skin sensitizer.
