203-672-5
EC Name:
Dibutyl sebacate

109-43-3
Molecular formula:
C18H34O4
IUPAC Name:
dibutyl sebacate
Details on test material:

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
No data

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped back skin
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution): Unchanged test substance
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back skin
- % coverage: 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used:
The patches consisted of two layers of light gauze cut in squares (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm). The patches were secured to the area by thin bands of adhesive tape. The material to be tested (0.5 mL) was introduced beneath the patch. The entire trunks of the animals were then wrapped in clear plastic trunk bands. The trunk bands helped to hold the patches in position an retarded evaporation of volatile substances during the 24 h exposure.
The animals were immobilized in a special holder during the 24 h exposure period.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance was not skin irritating, as no edema and only light erythema in 1 out of 6 animals occured which was fully reversible within 72 hours, although the testing was performed according to FHSA, and therefore under more critical conditions than those required for OECD Guideline 404.
