Irritant / corrosive response data:
In conjugation with the chemical properties and the fact that the test compound could not be removed completely from the skin, the most plausible explanation for the desquamation is residue of test compound adhered to the treated skin area. This was not regarded as irritation to the skin.
Other effects:
No systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
slightly irritating
Conclusions:




Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation/corrosion study according to OECD TG 404 Desmodur MT was applied under semiocclusive dressings for 4 hours to the shaved skin of 3 female rabbits. Skin irritation was assessed after 1, 24, 48, 72 hours as well as 7 and 14 days using the Draize scale. The mean irritation index for erythema was 0.5 of max. 4 (0.0 - 0.7), the mean irritation index for edema was 0.0 of max. 4. Signs were fully reversible in all animals within three days. The weight of these evidences indicates that the test substance may be considered as "slightly irritating to the skin". No relevant systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

According to classification criteria Desmodur MT is not an irritant to the skin.
