Other: The patch tests were put on for 20 to 24 hours and they were evaluated for six to seven days. Since the skin is colored by the tested dye, it was not possible to evaluate the erythematous reaction.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: sensitizing
Conclusions:
Positive reactions to the test chemical were observed in 8 of the 11 volunteers tested.Edema, confluent papules, infiltration were observed in 2 of 11 volunteers; vesicular reaction was noted in 1 volunteer.The test material was considered to be a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

Patch tests were performed to evaluate the degree of allergic reactions caused by the test material

The patch tests were put on for 20 - 24 hours on the skin of 11 volunteers. They were evaluated for six to seven days. Since the skin got colored by the test chemical, it was not possible to evaluate the erythematous reaction. For this reason evaluation was recorded as follows:

Itching = ±

Isolated papules = +

Edema, confluent papules, infiltration= + +

Vesicular reaction = + + +

Positive reactions to the test chemical were observed in 8 of the 11 volunteers tested.

Edema, confluent papules, infiltration were observed in 2 of 11 volunteers; vesicular reaction was noted in 1 volunteer.

The test material was considered to be a skin sensitizer.
