Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The Primary Irritation Index for 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was 2.0 after 24, 72 hours.
Based on the scores, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was moderately irritating to rabbit skin. - Executive summary:
A Primary skin irritation test was carried out to assess the irritation potential of4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) in rabbits.
0.5 ml of undiluted test chemical was applied under occlusion to the clipped, intact and abraded skin of 6 rabbits and observed for signs of irritation.The sites were individually examined at 24 h and scored separately for erythema and edema at 24 and 72 hours. The mean scores for 24- and 72-hours gradings were averaged to determine the Primary Irritation Index (PII).
The Primary Irritation Index for 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was 2.0 after 24, 72 hours.
Based on the scores, 4-Nonylphenol, ethoxylated (Nonoxynol -2) was moderately irritating to rabbit skin.
