Other effects / acceptance of results:

- OTHER EFFECTS:
- Visible damage on test system: None
- Direct-MTT reduction: The colour in both wells treated with the test substance was Yellow, meaning that the test substance does not interact with MTT
- Colour interference with MTT: At the end of the shaking period, the solution did not change colour, meaning that no additional inserts were required to perform the skin corrosion assay.

Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant, key Guideline (OECD 431) In Vitro skin corrosion study, the test material (Resin acids and Rosin acids, maleated, potassium salts (CAS# 85409-27-4) was applied to the stratum corneum of an epidermal model (SkinEthics^TM RhE; 2 epidermis units per test substance) for 2 different exposure periods: 3 minutes and 60 minutes. Exposure to the test material was terminated by rinsing with D-PBS with Ca⁺²/ Mg⁺². KOH 8N was used as the positive control and sterile ddH₂O was used as the negative control.

 

The viability of the epidermis was assessed by measuring the mitochondrial activity by MTT assay. The treated issues were incubated for 3 hours ± 15 minutes with a 1 mg/mL MTT solution at 37°C, 5% CO₂, and 95% RH, 0.3 mL per well. The precipitated formazan salts were extracted overnight at 4°C by using isopropanol (1.5 mL/well) and quantification performed spectrophotometrically at 570 ± 30 nm.

 

The test material did not interact with MTT and with the mesh and there was no colour interference observed. The test material, negative control, and positive control met the acceptance criteria for this assay. Cell viability (expressed in terms of percentage compared to the viability of the negative control (set as 100%)) was observed to be 107.26 % after 3 minute exposure and 173.42 % after 60 minute exposure to the test material.

 

On the basis of the results obtained in the skin corrosion assay, Resin acids and Rosin acids, maleated, potassium salts was considered to be non-corrosive.
