Test system

1% and 5% dilutions in "Deobase" (deodorized kerosene) were evaluated by instillation into rabbits' eyes.
3-minute exposures to 250 and 500 ppm dose levels were evaluated.

Remarks:
5% dilution in "Deobase" (deodorized kerosene) ruined rabbit eyes. 1% dilution produced minor damage. The compound is relegated to grade 9 in a 10-grade rating system for eye burns. A 3-minute exposure of rabbit eyes to 500 ppm of vapor produced immediate opacity of the cornea. A concentration of 250 ppm gave no damage that was immediately detectable, but which become apparent 3 hours later. This was considered as a delayed burn.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an in vivo eye irritation study, not conducted according to OECD Test Guideline or GLP, 5% dilution in "Deobase" (deodorized kerosene) ruined rabbit eyes whereas 1% dilution produced minor damage. The compound was relegated to grade 9 in a 10-grade rating system for eye burns. A 3-minute exposure of rabbit eyes to 500 ppm of vapor produced immediate opacity of the cornea. A concentration of 250 ppm gave no damage that was immediately detectable, but which become apparent 3 hours later and considered as a delayed burn.
