Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- No skin sensitisation reactions were seen in a guinea pig maximization test with Chloroparaffin 40G (a C14-17 chlorinated parrafin; 40% chlorinated)
- Executive summary:
In a guinea pig maximization test, a group of 20 animals were induced with an intradermal injection of 20% Chloroparaffin 40G (a C14-17 chlorinated paraffin; 40% chlorination, containing 1% epoxy stabilizer) in maize oil followed by a topical dose of the undiluted material. The initial challenge was with the undiluted test material and the second challenge with a 50% solution in maize oil. Ten guinea pigs were used as challenge controls.
At topical induction, the undiluted material produced "an intense, sometimes haemorrhagic, purulent inflammation", most likely associated with pre-treatment with Freund's Adjuvant. Following initial challenge, one test and one control animal showed a reaction at 48 h, with a score of 1 and 3, respectively. No skin response was seen after the second challenge.
Under the conditions of this study, Chloroparaffin 40G would not be classified as a skin sensitiser according to EU CLP or DSD regulations.
