Test material

Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

Acryloxibutylchlorformiat

IUPAC Name:

Acryloxibutylchlorformiat

Details on test material:

- Name of the test substance used in the study report: Acryloxibutylchlorformiat
- Purity: ca. 75%

Test animals

Species:

rabbit

Strain:

New Zealand White

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Young adult animals were used (mean body weight male animals: 3.53 kg, mean body weight female animal: 3.38 kg).
One animal per cage (type: stainless steel wire mesh cages with grating, floor area 3000 cm2). The animals were identified via ear tattoo.
They were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms with a room temperature of 20 - 24°C and a relative humidity of 30 - 70%. The day/night rhythm was 12 h light and 12 h dark.
The animals were offered a standardized animal laboratory diet (about 130 g/animal/day) as well as tap water (about 250 ml/animal/day).
Acclimatization period: at least one week

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Controls:

other: untreated skin of the same animal

Amount / concentration applied:

The test patches (2.5 x 2.5 cm) were moistened with a dose of 0.5 ml of the test substance.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

15 days

Number of animals:

3

Details on study design:

At least 24 hours before study start, the fur was removed by clipping the dorsal of the trunk of the animals. Only animals with healthy intact skin have been used.
Weight determination: shortly before test substance application
The test substance was applied in a single dose to the intact untreated skin. The test patches were secured in position with a semiocclusive dressing. The test substance was removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1).
Application site: upper third of theback or flanks
Readings: 1 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 8 d and 15 d after removal of the test patches.
