Test system

Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.1 ml undiluted UCAR n-pentyl propionate
Duration of treatment / exposure:
approximately one second
Observation period (in vivo):
1 hour, approximately 4 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days with additional readings on 14 days and 21 days, if needed
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
4 male + 2 female
Details on study design:
0.1 ml of UCAR n-pentyl propionate (undiluted) was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits and the eyelids held together about 1 second. The eyes were scored as per Draize method at 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days after dosing. Additional readings were done on days 14 and 21, if needed. Fluorescein (2%) staining was used to determine corneal injury before dosing and at readings after one day.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, UCAR n-pentyl propionate would not be be classified as an eye irritant according to the Guidance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures
Executive summary:

In this study, the eye irritation potential of undiluted UCAR n-pentyl propionate was evaluated on four male and two female New Zealand White rabbits.

0.1 ml of UCAR n-pentyl propionate (undiluted) was instilled into the lower conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits and the eyelids held together about 1 second. The eyes were scored as per Draize method at 1 hour, 4 hours, 1 day, 2 days, 3 days and 7 days after dosing. Additional readings were done on days 14 and 21, if needed. Fluorescein (2%) staining was used to determine corneal injury before dosing and at readings after one day. There were no signs of eye irritation in the tested rabbits. Under the conditions of the study, UCAR n-pentyl propionate would not be be classified as an eye irritant according to the Guidance to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures.
