Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material TBPPI, is not irritating to the eyes as tested in rabbits.
Executive summary:

Three male and 3 female New Zealand White rabbits (obtained from Kuiper's Rabbit Ranch, Gary, Indiana) were used for this study. The rabbits weighed from 2473 to 2787 grams at the beginning of the study. The rabbits were individually housed in hanging wire-mesh cages in temperature and humidity controlled quarters. They were maintained in accordance with the recommendations contained in H.E.W. Publication No. 74-23 (N.I.H.) entitled "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals". The animals were conditioned for a period of 15 days prior to study initiation. Water and Purina Rabbit Chow were available ad libitum. Prior to test material administration, the eyes of each rabbit were examined with ultraviolet light following instillation of one drop of a 2.0 percent sodium fluorescein solution. Rabbits exhibiting corneal lesions were discarded. The rabbits received 0.1 mL of the test material. The test material was placed into the cupped conjunctival sac of the right eye of each rabbit following which the eyelids were gently held together for one second. The left eye served as the untreated control for each rabbit. None of the rabbits received a washout. The treated eyes were examined in accordance with the following schedule: 24 hours following instillation, 48 hours, 72 hours and 7 days. After 72 hours and 7 days, sodium fluorescein examinations were conducted. After grading the eye reaction, one drop of sodium fluorescein was instilled directly onto the corneal surface of each rabbit. After few seconds, excess stain was flushed from the corneal surface with dis tilled water and the eyes examined with ultraviolet light. In 5 of 6 animals eyes weak redness and chemosis could be observed after 24 hours, which were reversible within 72 hours. Based upon the data obtained and in accordance with the requirements of the regulations of the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the test material would not be considered a primary eye irritant.
