Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- shaved
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 mL
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after patch removal
- Number of animals:
- 3 animals (2 males and 1 female)
- Details on study design:
- The day before test substance application, the dorsal area of the trunk was clipped of hair, area approximately 10 X 10 cm. The test substance was dosed at a volume of 0.5 mL and a semiocclusive patch was secured over the patch area with non-irritating tape. After 4 hours, the patch was removed, residual test material was removed from the site by gently washing with distilled water, and animals were observed at fixed time points for irritation according to the numerical Draize technique. Body weights were determined before test substance administration and at study termination. Animals were sacrified but no gross pathology was performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not irritating
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate is not classified as a primary skin irritant. No acute toxicity, erythema or edema was observed after a 4-hour dermal exposure to New Zealand White Rabbits under the occlusive conditions used in this study.
Based on an absence of erythema and edema in New Zealand White rabbits following application to intact skin for 4 hours, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate is not classifiable for Skin Irritation/Corrosion according to GHS. Based on an absence of observable systemic effects, the test material is also not classified for Specific Target Organ Toxicity-single exposure. - Executive summary:
In a skin irritation/corrosion study, 3 New Zealand White Rabbits were exposed to 0.5 mL of the neat test substance, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, under semiocclusion for 4 hours. The site of application was examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. No signs of irritation were noted during the study. Based on the results of this study, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate presents a low toxicity hazard and is not considered an irritant or corrosive.
