Reaction mass of 2,2'-[methylenebis(4,1-phenyleneoxymethylene)]dioxirane and [2-({2-[4-(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)benzyl]phenoxy}methyl)oxirane and [2,2'-[methylenebis(2,1-phenyleneoxymethylene)]dioxirane
Details on test material:
Epoxy Resin X2638.1 (Dow ET-337)
Epoxy Resin X2638.3 (Dow ET-338)

Method

Type of population:
general
Ethical approval:
not specified
Subjects:
50 individuals with a mix of race, sex and age.
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
A pilot study was performed on ten individuals succeeded by a principle study with 40 individuals. A series of nine patch applications were scheduled over a three week period. Two weeks following the ninth application of each test material a single patch application was made to elicit and skin sensitization reactions.

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
Upon repeated application to normal human skin, sesame oil dilutions containing up to 10% Dow ET-337 or Dow ET-338 caused a skin irritation incidence of approximately 1.8%; no reactions were noted in response to challenge applications.
