Any other information on results incl. tables

24 h after challange (removing the patch), erythema grade 1 was recorded for 2 out of 10 test animals. After 48 and 72 h, no further signs of irritation were observed. The maximum percentage of animals sensitized was 20%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Considering the study results of this sensitization test it can be stated that the test item Coco alkyl amines can be regarded as non-sensitizer after
dermal exposure
Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant OECD TG 406 skin sensitization study according to Magnusson-Kligmann (guinea pig - maximisation test, GPMT), 10 female guinea pigs + 5 control animals (strain Dunkin-Hartley) were treated with coco alkylamine ("Genamin CC 100 D", technical grade, purity 99.9%, liquid) using cotton seed oils as a vehicle. Based on the results of a pretest, a test substance concentration of 0.1% was used for intradermal induction (0.1 mL), followed by a 1% concentration at epidermal induction. Challenge was performed using a 0.5% substance concentration. For epidermal treatments, patches were loaded with 0.5 mL. In contrast to results of the pretest, no dermal irritation was observed after epidermal induction. After challenge treatment, 2/10 animals showed grade 1 erythema at the 24h reading (positive rate = 20%). One out of these positive animals showed scaling after 48 and 72h. Considering the reported data of this sensitization test it can be stated that the test item Coco alkyl amines caused slight reactions at the tested concentration in 2 out of 10 animals identified as sensitization. However, according to the EC criteria Coco alkyl amine does not classify as skin sensitizer as the sensitization rate was 20%.
