Executive summary:

Sec-alkane sulfonate-sodium salts SAS (60%) was examined for its capacity to cause contact allergy by the maximization test according to Magnusson and Kligman with guinea pigs. Based on a screening study using groups of 6 male guinea pigs the highest non-irritating concentration of sec-alkane sulfonate-sodium salts SAS (60%) was established to be 5% in water. In the main study 15 male guinea pigs were used. Induction exposure included 10 intracutaneous injections of 0.05 mL of a solution of 500 mg sec-alkane sulfonate-sodium salts SAS (60%) in 10 mL of Freund`s complete adjuvant. Challenge was made 14 days after the last injection using 0.1 mL of sec-alkane sulfonate-sodium salts SAS (60%) at 5% test concentration. Readings performed 24 and 48 hours after the challenge treatment revealed no signs of skin reactions (sensitization incidence = 0%). Additionally, also a second challenge treatment using the same test conditions like in the first challenge revealed no signs of skin reactions (sensitization incidence = 0%). Thus it was concluded that sec-alkane sulfonate-sodium salts SAS is not a skin sensitizer.
