Conclusions:
Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation properties of 2,2,4(or 2,4,4)-trimethyladiponitrile were tested according to OECD Guideline 404 (1981). A dose of 0.5 ml undiluted test item per animal was applied to the shorn, intact dorsal skin of 3 male and 3 female rabbits under occlusive conditions for 4 hours. After removal of the patches the treated skin areas were rinsed with water and dried. The results were assessed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hr after patch removal. Under the test conditions no significant irritancy to skin was observed, irritation index 0 of max. 8.0. Therefore, 2,2,4(or 2,4,4)-trimethyladiponitrile is not irritating to skin.
