Irritant / corrosive response data:

One animal showed very slight erythema (grade 1) one hour after patch removal until day 1 and very slight edema (grade 1), which subsided within 24 hours.
In the second animal erythema was well defined or moderate to severe (grade 2-3) and was still present (grade 1) at the end of the 14-day observation period. In this animal also slight or moderate edema (grade 2-3) was noted until day 2 and thereafter the edema was very slight (grade 1) until day 8. In addition, in the same animal indentation up to 1 mm and brown discolouration of the application site were found until day 5 after removal of the patch. Eschar was formed from day 1 until day 5, started to peel off on day 6 and was no longer detected on day 11 of observation.
Neither erythema nor edema formation was noted in the third animal after patch removal and up to 3 days after application.

Other effects:

There were no systemic toxic effects after dermal application of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified for hydrated form TMT 55; inconclusive for anhydrous TMT

Remarks:

Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this skin irritation study in the rabbit the test item TMT 55 was slightly irritating to the skin. However, the data is conclusive but not sufficient for classification of TMT 55. For anhydrous TMT, the available data on skin irritation/corrosion is inconlusive for classification.
