Irritant / corrosive response data:
The eye lesions caused by the test item generally were of a slight degree. Thus, this test item is not considered to be eye irritant.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The eye lesions caused by tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate generally were of a slight degree. Thus, this test item is not considered to be eye irritant.
Executive summary:

Tert-butyl peroxyneodecanoate (75 % in solvent) was examined for eye irritating properties in six New Zealand White albino rabbits. One tenth of a milliliter of the test item is allowed to fall on the everted lower lid one eye of each rabbit; the upper and lower eye lid are then carefully closed and subsequently held together for at least one second before releasing, to prevent loss of material. The other eye, remaining untreated, serves as a control. The eyes are examined at 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after instillation of the test item.

The eye lesions caused by the test item generally were of a slight degree with mean cornea score of 0, iris score of 0, conjuctivae score 0.2 and chemosis score 0. Thus, the test substance was not considered to be an eye irritant.
