GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The Modified Primary irritation Index is 0.55. Tin disulfide is a dermal irritant.

Executive summary:

Three healthy New Zealand White rabbits (males) were dosed dermally with Tin disulfide. The test article (0.56 g) was applied dermally to one intact site per rabbit and wrapped with a piece of porous dressing (semi-occlusive) large enough to cover all dose sites with at least 5 cm square to spare on all sides of the gauze patch. The test article was kept in contact with the skin for 4 hours at which time the wrappings were removed. Erythema and edema were scored at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and on Day 7 following patch removal. The skin was also evaluated for ulceration and necrosis or any evidence of tissue destruction at these time periods. Animals were observed for toxicological and pharmacological effects at each dermal observation period and observed for mortality daily. Body weights were recorded pretest, at 72 hours and at termination. At 1 hour post exposure, erythema was absent to very slight and edema was absent. At 24 hours erythema was very slight, edema was absent and shiny areas were observed on one animal. By 48 hours, erythema was absent to very slight and edema was absent with shiny areas and flaking skin observed. Erythema remained absent to very slight, edema was absent and flaking skin persisted at 72 hours. Both erythema and edema were absent by Day 7. No abnormal physical signs were observed. Two animals had net body weight gain by study termination, although one of the animals lost weight between 72 hours and Day 7. The remaining animal lost weight by study termination. The Modified Primary Irritation Index was 0.55. Tin disulfide (CAS 1315-01-1; EINECS: 215- 252-9), Tin disulphide; Trade name: Tribotecc® - SNS2 Grade A, Batch# E 10320 is not a Category 2 irritant according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, Section 3.2.2.7.
