Any other information on results incl. tables

To a male rabbit, all animals showed erythema and 2 animals oedema after one hour. At 24 hours 1 male rabbit showed erythema grade 3, 2 female erythema grade 2 and 2 male/ 1 female erythema grade 1. Only 1 male and 1 female showed oedema. At 48 hours up to 1 male rabbit, all showed erythema and one male oedema. At 72 hours 1 male and 2 female showed erythema. At 6 days 1 male and 2 female showed formations of scales. For details see attached table.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the study, the test item showed a slight irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

To test the acute skin irritant effect of the test item

2,3-Epoxypropyl neodecanoate, oligomeric reaction products with toluene-4-sulfonic acid

was applied to the shaven dorsal skin of rabbits. The product was administered undiluted and the time of exposure in the patch test was 4 hours.

To a male rabbit, all animals showed erythema and 2 animals oedema after one hour. At 24 hours 1 male rabbit showed erythema grade 3, 2 female erythema grade 2 and 2 male/ 1 female erythema grade 1. Only 1 male and 1 female showed oedema. At 48 hours up to 1 male rabbit, all showed erythema and one male oedema. At 72 hours 1 male and 2 female showed erythema. At 6 days 1 male and 2 female showed formations of scales.

According to the study, the test item showed a slight irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
