Conclusions:

DIPA is considered as corrosive to rabbit skin.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal irritation of Diisopropylamine (DIPA) was evaluated in rabbits according to OECD 404 guideline and in compliance with the Good Laboratory Principles. DIPA was applied undiluted to the skin of 3 New-Zealand White albino rabbits and held in contact for 3 minutes by means of a semi-occlusive dressing. Animals were then observed daily until day 14.

Clear evidence of necrosis was observed within 24 h (brown-red and brown-green discoloration of treated skin sites), followed by dry and rough over time, associated with desquamation and/or open wound that ended in scar formation. The skin tissue became irreversibly damaged in total thickness.

Erythema mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 2, 3 and 3 for animals 1, 2 and 3 respectively.

Oedema mean scores over 24, 48 and 72 hours were 1, 0.67 and 1 for animals 1, 2 and 3 respectively. Skin damages were not reversible within the observation period.

Under these experimental conditions, DIPA is considered as corrosive to rabbit skin.
