Irritant / corrosive response data:
Reported primary irritation index (Group total / 12) was 0.1. The test material produced minimal cutaneous irritation in 1/3 rabbits. There was no evidence of corrosion in any animal. Very slight erythema was observed in one rabbit at the one hour reading only. Two rabbits did not show any observable response to treatment throughout the 72 hours observation period.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The active acid in the test material is 25%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The in vivo skin irritation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, found HMDTMP sodium salt (CAS 56744-47-9) to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
