Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back and flanks
- % coverage: 37 square centimeters
- Type of wrap if used: piece of surgical gauze measuring 10 cm x 5 cm was placed over the treatment area and secured with surgical tape (MICROPORE) wrapped around each end. The gauze was overarapped with cling film and elastic adhesive bandage (ELASTOPLAST).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Yes, wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2.51 mL/kg
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
Single application of 2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5/sex/dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 1, 2.5, and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. The test sites were examined for evidence of dermal irritation approximately 30 minutes after bandage removal and on Days 3, 7, 10 and 14. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: Based on the absence of mortality and lack of adverse treatment-related clinical toxicity in male and female rats
Mortality:
No mortality was observed in either male or female rats throughtout the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: There were no adverse treament-related signs of clinical toxicity observed in the study. No signs of skin irritation were noted during the study.
Gross pathology:
Gross necroscopy at termination did not reveal any remarkable findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the lack of test material related clinical toxicity and mortality, the acute dermal LD50 for 1 -dodecene dimer, hydrogenated is determined to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (Driscoll, R., 1995; Klimisch score = 1), 2000 mg/kg bw of 1 -dodecene dimer, hydrogenated were applied to the intact skin of Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex). The test material was applied intact under semi-occlusive wrap for a period of 24 hours and animals observed over a 14 day period for signs of irritation and clinical toxicity.

No mortality was observed in either male or female animals through the study period. There were no adverse treament-related signs of clinical toxicity observed and no signs of skin irritation were noted during the study. Body weights of male and female rats remained unaffected through the study period. Gross necroscopy at termination did not reveal any remarkable findings.

Based on the lack of test material related clinical toxicity and mortality, the acute dermal LD50 for 1 -dodecene dimer, hydrogenated is determined to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.
