Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitizing
Conclusions:
Skin sensitizing study was conducted for 4-Nonylphenol, branched, ethoxylated (127087-87-0)on 50 human volunteers. The test substancewas considered to be not sensitizing in human.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitizing study was conducted for 4-Nonylphenol, branched, ethoxylated (127087-87-0)on 50 human volunteers. The test substance was applied on skin as one inch square piece of absorbent cotton twill for 72 hours. After 72 hours, itwasremoved and the skinwasscored. Seven days after the induction exposure, the test material was reapplied in the same manner and allowed to remain on the skin for 72 hours. After 72 hours of challenge exposure the patch was removed .The skin was scored for sensitization effect. No skin sensitization was observed in any 50 volunteer. So 4-Nonylphenol, branched, ethoxylated (127087-87-0) was considered to be non-skin sensitizing in human.
