Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight to moderate irritant effects (erythema) in all three animals on the intact skin 24 hours after patch removal. Very slight to well-defined skin reactions (erythema) in two animals at 48 and 72 hours. At the 96 hour reading a very slight erythema was still found in one animal. By 120 hours there were no signs of irritation.
Other effects:
There were no significant body weight changes at any point in the study. There were no other signs of toxicity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In the in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, triethoxy(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was concluded to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
