Irritant / corrosive response data:
Within one hour of application, distinct hyperaemia of several blood vessels occurred in all animals. On one animal, the redness of the connective tissue was accompanied by a slight swelling, including the nictitating membrane. The cornea and iris showed no changes. Only one animal showed a slight redness of the connective tissue in the form of distinct hyperaemia of the blood vessels 24 hours after treatment. Further changes in the eye and conjunctiva were not observed. After 48 and 72 hours the eyes of all three animals were normal.
Other effects:
None reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405 and to GLP, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane was only very slightly and transiently irritating to the eyes of small white Russian rabbits and therefore was not classified as an eye irritant.
