Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:

Number of animals:
3 male and 3 female rabbits
Details on study design:
The hair was removed from the back of each rabbit (20 % - 30 % of the body surface) with an electric clipper. The skin of 3 of the rabbits was abraded with a scalpel blade. The abrasions penetrated the stratum corneum, but were not deep enough to cause bleeding. A volume of 0.5 mL of the test material was applied to the back of each rabbit under a one inch square gauze patch. The application sites were then covered with gauze bandaging and overwrapped with saran wrap. The entire application area was then wrapped with several layers of 75 mm elastoplast tape. A collar was also applied. Following 24 hours of application, the bandages and collars were removed and the sites were washed with tap water and examined for skin irrittaion. The examinations were repeated at 72 hours.

Conclusions:
Under the study conditions and evaluation the test substance was not considered to be irritating.
Executive summary:

The study examined the skin irritation potential of 65 % 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane, in phthalate plasticizer in New Zealand white rabbits. 0.5 mL of the test substance were applied to clipped rabbit skin. After 24 hours, the substance was washed off with tap water. The skin was examined for skin irritation 24 and 72 hours after application. Exposure to 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane resulted in slight erythema and edema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits with mean erythema score of 1.5 and mean edema score of 0.8. Therefore, the substance is evaluated to be not irritating to the skin.

Conclusions:
The test substance examined in this study, 65 % 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane, was considered not to be irritating to the eyes.
Executive summary:

The test substance, 65 % 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane was examined for its eye irritation potential in 6 New Zealand White rabbits. The rabbits were administered with 0.1 mL of the test substance, placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit while the left eye served as-the untreated control for each rabbit. The eyes were not washed and observations/ scoring with sodium fluorescein solution were performed at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after application. Results were scored by modified Draize scoring method (scoring with 0.5 intervals), showing according to the grading used in the study, regulations of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act., (and in accordance with present regulation, OECD GHS) that the test material is not be considered a primary eye-irritant.

Additional information

Skin irritation/corrosion:

The study examined the skin irritation potential of 65 % 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane, in phthalate plasticizer in New Zealand white rabbits. 0.5 mL of the test substance were applied to clipped rabbit skin. After 24 hours, the substance was washed off with tap water. The skin was examined for skin irritation 24 and 72 hours after application. Exposure to 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane resulted in slight erythema and edema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits with mean erythema score of 1.5 and mean edema score of 0.8. Therefore, the substance is evaluated to be not irritating to the skin.

 

Eye irritation:

The test substance, 65 % 1,1-Di (t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane was examined for its eye irritation potential in 6 New Zealand White rabbits. The rabbits were administered with 0.1 mL of the test substance, placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit while the left eye served as-the untreated control for each rabbit. The eyes were not washed and observations/ scoring with sodium fluorescein solution were performed at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after application. Results were scored by modified Draize scoring method (scoring with 0.5 intervals). The mean cornea and iris score was 0, the mean conjuctivae score was 0.3 and the chemosis score was 0.05, fully reversible within 7 days. The test material is not considered to be an eye irritant according to regulations of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act. and EU present regulation.
