EC number: 265-054-1 | CAS number: 64741-53-3 A complex combination of hydrocarbons produced by vacuum distillation of the residuum from atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly in the range of C20 through C50 and produces a finished oil with a viscosity of at least 100 SUS at 100°F (19cSt at 40°C). It contains relatively few normal paraffins.

- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
6 guinea pigs received two concentrations of undiluted test concentrations of 25%, 50% and 75% volume/volume in paraffin oil. Additional testing at 10% and 1% volume/volume were needed due to the irritation seen at the 25% volume/volume test.
Results from range finding test:
1% - no dermal irritation
10% - slight dermal irritation and no response
25% - slight dermal irritation
50% - well defined dermal irritation
undiluted test material applications - well defined dermal irritation

Any other information on results incl. tables
The
criteria used to evaluate the responses are described in the report as
follows:
Determination of sensitization was based upon reactions to the challenge
dose. Grades of 1 or greater in the test animals indicate evidence of
sensitization, provided grades of less than 1 are seen in the naive
controls. If grades of 1 or greater are noted in the naive control
animals, then the reactions of test animals that exceed the most severe
naive control reaction are considered sensitization reactions.
Using these criteria, none of the test animals became sensitized
following treatment with API 84-01. In contrast, all the positive
control animals were sensitized by their treatment.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- 84-01 was not considered to be a skin sensitizer in guinea pigs when tested by the closed patch technique.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study using 84 -01 in paraffin oil, 10 young Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the method of Buehler.
Slight erythema reaction was exhibited by six animals but did not exceed the highest reaction of the naive control animals. The other four animals tested did not exhibit a reaction. In this study, 84 -01 is not considered to be a dermal sensitizer.
This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because the study closely followed OECD 406.
