Conclusions:
The test material did not product evidence of skin sensitisation (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in any of the 20 test animals.
Executive summary:

In this study, 20 guinea pigs were exposed to DTDP in a skin sensitization exposure paradigm utilizing and induction and challenge phase in the method of the Buehler test. A 20 x 20 mm patch of surgical gauze was saturated with approximately 0.5 ml of test material was placed on the skin and covered by an impermeable plastic adhesive tape. Contact with the skin was maintained for approximately 6 hours. The dressings were then removed and the resulting dermal reactions assessed approximately 24 hours later. Inductions were conducted on days 1, 8, and 15. The challenge application was given topically two weeks after the induction via the same method and scored for dermal reactions 24, 48 and 72 hours post exposure. In all cases, DTDP did not produce any dermal reactions.
