Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The chemical bis (2-ethylhexyl) zinc dithiophosphate (CAS No: 4259-15-8) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs in a Buehler test.

Executive summary:

A Buehler test was carried out for chemical bis (2-ethylhexyl) zinc dithiophosphate (CAS No: 4259-15-8) was conducted in guinea pigs according to OECD Test Guideline 406.

 

Induction was carried out once a week for three consecutive weeks with 5% of the test substance in mineral oil, the lowest irritating concentration, provocation 2 weeks after the last application with 1 % in mineral oil, the highest non-irritating concentration. The control group was tested only with mineral oil. For comparison, historical positive controls were used with 1-chloro-2,4- dinitrobenzene and α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde.

 

The treated guinea pigs showed a negative result (3/20 degree 1 reactions in comparison to 1/20 degree 1 reactions in the solvent control).

 

Hence the chemical bis (2-ethylhexyl) zinc dithiophosphate (CAS No: 4259-15-8) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of guinea pigs in a Buehler test.
