- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- - Irritation:
Four hours exposure to 0.5 mL of the test item resulted in moderate to severe or severe erythema and moderate to severe oedema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits. The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in one animal and within 21 days in the two remaining animals. Reduced flexibility and/or fissuring of the skin, scaliness and bald skin were noted among the animals between 48 hours and termination (after 14 or 21 days).
- Corrosion
There was no evidence of a corrosive effect on the skin. - Other effects:
- - Colouration
On the skin of all animals, sticky remnants of the test substance were present on day 1 and dry remnants were present from day 2 onwards until day 4.
- Toxicity / Mortality
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no test substance related mortality occured. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- No evidence of full thickness destruction of the skin or scar tissue was observed during the observation period, indicating that no corrosion of the skin had occured by dermal application of the test substance to intact rabbit skin.
- Executive summary:
Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was tested in a primary skin irritation/corrosion study in the rabbit (4 -hour semi-occlusive application) according to EU method B.4 and the OECD guideline no. 404. Three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the test item, applied onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and/or 21 days after exposure.
Exposure to the test item resulted in moderate to severe erythema and moderate to severe oedema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits
with mean erythema score of 2.8 and mean edema score of 2.7. The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in one animal and within 21 days in the two remaining animals. Reduced flexibility and/or fissuring of the skin, scaliness and bald skin were noted among the animals between 48 hours and termination (after 14 or 21 days). On the skin of all animals, sticky remnants of the test substance were present on day 1 and dry remnants were present from day 2 onwards until day 4.
No evidence of full thickness destruction of the skin or scar tissue was observed during the observation period, indicating that no corrosion of the skin had occured by dermal application of the test substance to intact rabbit skin.

- The mean tissue viability of the positive control was 6.3 %, that is lower than 20.0 %, as required by the assay acceptance criteria.
- The standard deviation calculated from individual percental tissue viabilities of the test item treated skin discs was 3.3 %, that is below 18.0 % as required by the assay acceptance criteria.
The method was acceptable as the concurrent positive and negative control and the standard deviation calculated from individual percental tissue viabilities fell within the acceptable ranges given by the protocol used during the ECVAM validation study. - Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- According to the results of this study, the test substance is considered to be non-corrosive but irritant to skin.
- Executive summary:
The in vitro EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity/Irritation Test was performed to reveal possible irreversible tissue damages of the skin following the application of TBPND according to EU (B.40 and B.46) and OECD guidelines (432 and 439).
EpiDerm Skin Irritation Test: The test substance was topically applied for 60 minutes to the epidermal surfaces of three-dimensional human epidermis models. After a post-incubation of 42 hours, a cell viability test was performed.
EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity Test: During the post-incubation of 42 hours the test substance was topically applied for 3 minutes and 1 hour to the epidermal surfaces of three-dimensional human epidermis models, followed by immediate determination of the cytotoxic effect.
Results
EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity Test:
- The mean percentage viability of the treated skin discs after 3 minutes of exposure was 94.7 % which is above the threshold of 50.0 % for classification.
- The mean percentage viability of the treated skin discs after 1 hour of exposure was 114.5 % which is above the threshold of 15.0 % for classification.

- Executive summary:
Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was examined for eye irritating properties in six New Zealand White albino rabbits. One tenth of a milliliter of the test item is allowed to fall on the everted lower lid one eye of each rabbit; the upper and lower eye lid are then carefully closed and subsequently held together for at least one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material. The other eye, remaining untreated, serves as a control. The eyes are examined at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test item.
The eye lesions caused by the test item generally were of a slight degree with mean cornea score of 0, iris score of 0, conjuctivae score 0.2 and chemosis score 0. Thus, the test substance was not considered to be an eye irritant.

Additional information
skin irritation / corrosion
key study (in vivo)
Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was tested in a primary skin irritation/corrosion study in the rabbit (4 -hour semi-occlusive application) according to EU method B.4 and the OECD guideline no. 404. Three rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the test item, applied onto clipped skin for 4 hours using a semi-occlusive dressing. Observations were made 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7, 14 and/or 21 days after exposure.
Exposure to the test item resulted in moderate to severe erythema and moderate to severe oedema in the treated skin-areas of the three rabbits with mean erythema score of 2.8 and mean edema score of 2.7.
The skin irritation had resolved within 14 days after exposure in one animal and within 21 days in the two remaining animals. Reduced flexibility and/or fissuring of the skin, scaliness and bald skin were noted among the animals between 48 hours and termination (after 14 or 21 days).
On the skin of all animals, sticky remnants of the test substance were present on day 1 and dry remnants were present from day 2 onwards until day 4.
No evidence of full thickness destruction of the skin or scar tissue was observed during the observation period, indicating that no corrosion of the skin had occured by dermal application of the test substance to intact rabbit skin.
Supporting study (in vivo)
Primary irritation to the skin of tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was measured by a patch-test technique on the abraded and intact skin of albino rabbits.
After an exposure period of 24 hours the patches and the material applied were removed and the resulting skin reactions were evaluted by the method of Draize. A second reading was made 48 hours later (72 hours after application).
The test item caused well-defined erythema or moderate to severe erythema or some ischemia and very slight or slight edema (mean erythema score 3.1 and mean edema score 1.1). After 72 hours very slight or well-defined erythema or scaliness were observed.
key study (in vitro)
In order to confirm the results of the two in vivo studies with the 75% substance in solvent an in vitro skin irritation/corrotion test was done with the pure subtance. This in vitro EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity/Irritation Test was performed to reveal possible irreversible tissue damages of the skin following the application of TBPND according to EU (B.40 and B.46) and OECD guidelines (432 and 439).
EpiDerm Skin Irritation Test: The test substance was topically applied for 60 minutes to the epidermal surfaces of three-dimensional human epidermis models. After a post-incubation of 42 hours, a cell viability test was performed.
EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity Test: During the post-incubation of 42 hours the test substance was topically applied for 3 minutes and 1 hour to the epidermal surfaces of three-dimensional human epidermis models, followed by immediate determination of the cytotoxic effect.
Results
EpiDerm Skin Corrosivity Test:
- The mean percentage viability of the treated skin discs after 3 minutes of exposure was 94.7 % which is above the threshold of 50.0 % for classification.
- The mean percentage viability of the treated skin discs after 1 hour of exposure was 114.5 % which is above the threshold of 15.0 % for classification.
EpiDerm Skin Irritation Test:
- The mean percentage viability of the treated skin discs was 8.5 % which is above the threshold of 50.0 % for classification.
CONCLUSION
According to the results of this study, the test substance is considered to be non-corrosive but irritant to skin confirming the results of the in vivo studies with the 75% substance.
Based on the results of the in vivo and in vitro studies Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate was considered irritating to skin.
Eye irritation
Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was examined for eye irritating properties in two studies. In both studies six New Zealand White albino rabbits were administered with 0.1 mL of the test item, applied to one eye of each rabbit while the other eye, remaining untreated, served as a control. The eyes were examined at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test substance. Based on the obtained results (mean cornea score (0 in both studies), iris score (0 in both studies), conjuctivae score (0.2 in key study and 0.94 in supporting study) and chemosis score (0 in key study and 0.94 in supporting study)), the test substance was not considered to be an eye irritant.
No data are available for the pure (100%) test substance. Neverthesess, due to animal welfare reasons no further testing was conducted as the same result as for the 75% product is expected. The mean scores in the key study (cornea = 0, iris = 0, conjunctiviae = 0.2 and chemosis = 0) were very low. In addition, for skin irritation comparable results were obtained in an older in vivo study with the 75% substance as compared with a new in vitro skin irritation study with the pure (100%) substance. Taking all data together, it is expected that also the 100% substance is not irritating to the eyes.
