Conclusions:
Dimethyldipropylenetriamine is considered as potentially severely irritanting to the eye.
Executive summary:

To evaluate the potential corrosivity for the eye of dimethyldipropylenetriamine, the pH and acidic/alkaline reserve was measured according to the method described by Régnier and Imbert (ATLA, 1992, 20, 457-465) and Froment (Arkema unpublished data, 1993). Under the test conditions, the results are as follow:

Test item

pH

log R (acidic/alkaline reserve

Physical-chemical index (I)

I = pH + log R, for pH ≥7

I = (14 -pH) + log R, for pH < 7 

Dimethyldipropylenetriamine

11.9

1.6

13.5

According to the method, a substance is considered as potentially corrosive to the eye if at least 2 of the 3 following criteria are fulfilled:

pH≤ 2.5 or pH ≥9.5; log R ≥ 0 and /or I≥ 9.

Dimethyldipropylenetriamine is considered as potentially severely irritanting to the eye.
