Irritant / corrosive response data:
Moderate to severe erythema and oedemawere noted up to 24 hours after patch removal. After 72 hours, in addition to moderate to severe irritation, the skin was also dry and hardened, and shed after 6-8 days. At 6 days erythema and oedema were no longer recorded. By 10 days all skin reactions had reversed.
Other effects:
No other effects reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a good quality OECD 404 study, conducted to GLP, the test material was irritating (GHS Cat.2) to the skin of three male rabbits.
Executive summary:

Three male small White Russian rabbits were exposed to test material (0.5 cm3) under semiocclusive conditions for four hours. After four hours the test substance was washed off the skin and reactions were recorded at 30 and 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and 6, 8 and 10 days using the scoring system of OECD 404 (Draize). All three animals had moderate to severe erythema and oedema up to 24 hours after patch removal. After 72 hours, in addition to moderate to severe irritation, the skin was also dry and hardened, and shed after 6-8 days. At 6 days erythema and oedema were no longer recorded. By 10 days, all skin reactions had reversed. Dynasil BG ( CAS 18765-38-3) was therefore considered to be irritating (GHS Cat.2) to the skin of rabbits.
