Conclusions:

The acute dermal LD50 for isodecanol is >2648 mg/kg.

Executive summary:

The dermal toxicity and irritative properties of isodecanol were evaluated in rabbits exposed to 100, 316, 1000 or 3160 ul/kg (83.8, 264, 838, or 2648 mg/kg) via an occluded patch for 24 hours.  The animals were observed for gross effects at 1, 4, and 24 hours after application and once daily thereafter for 7 days.  All animals survived dosing. Most animals exhibited slight signs of dermal irritation with severity increasing in a dose-related manner.  Most signs of dermal irritation were resolved within 1-3 days in the two lower dose groups.  At the time of sacrifice the exposed skin area of all animals generally showed atonia and desquamation.  In addition, the animals at the 3160, ul/kg level showed blanched areas, necrotic areas, and a coriaceous condition. It is concluded that the LD50 is greater then 3160 ul/kg.
