Description of key information

For the purpose of REACH registration, read across with the analogue substance 2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride appears appropriate. When tested undiluted, IMEXINE OAJ (2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride) was not irritating to the rabbit skin. Imexine OAJ (2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride) was considered to be an irritant to rabbit eyes when tested undiluted.

Additional information

For the purpose of REACH registration, read across with the analogue substance 2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride appears appropriate. The skin irritation potential of the substance 2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride was assessed according to OECD guideline 404 in compliance to GLP. The day before application, the back area of test animals was clipped free of hair. A 0.5g sample of neat IMEXINE OAJ was applied to 6 cm2 of the right flank which was previously treated with 0.5 ml paraffin oil. The untreated left flank served as a control. The dressing was then removed and cutaneous reactions were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after dressing removal. There were no cutaneous reactions apart from a slight erytherma observed in 1 animal at the 48 hour observation only. When tested undiluted, IMEXINE OAJ (2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride) was not irritating to the rabbit skin.

The eye irritation potential of the substance 2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride was assessed according to OECD guideline 405 in compliance to GLP. On day 1, a 100mg sample of neat Imexine OAJ was instilled in the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animals. The eyes were not rinsed following instillation of the test item. The non-treated right eye served as a control. The ocular reactions were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after instillation, as well as on day 8 and day 15. Marked ocular reactions were observed. They included moderate to marked chemosis and slight to moderate redness of conjunctivae, slight to moderate corneal opacification and slight iridal lesions. At the end of the study (day 15), similar though less marked ocular reactions were observed. Imexine OAJ (2-(2,4-diaminophenoxy)ethanol dihydrochloride) was considered to be an irritant to rabbit eyes when tested undiluted.
