Conclusions:
The purpose of this study was to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test substance, hydrocarbons, C7-C9, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics. Ten male and ten female guinea pigs were used as a test group, and five male and five female guinea pigs were used as a control group. The test group underwent an intradermal induction of 1.0 %w/v test material in corn oil. Then a topical induction of 50% w/v test substance in corn oil. The challenge was done with 25% w/v test material in corn oil. No skin reactions were noted during the challenge. The test substance is not sensitizing.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested hydrocarbons, C7-C9, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics based on analogue read across.
