Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
[2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for acute skin irritation in a semi-occlusive study conducted according to OECD TG 404 and in compliance with GLP. Very slight erythema was observed after 30-60 minutes, and 2, 48 and 72 hours, in two of the three small white Russian rabbits exposed to the undiluted test substance for four hours. One animal showed very slight edema 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the bandage. All signs of irritation had reversed by 6 days after application. One animal showed no signs of skin irritation during the entire observation period. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the skin.
