Number of animals :<br />
Result : slightly irritating<br />
EC classification :<br />
Method : Draize Test<br />
Year : 1969<br />
GLP : no<br />
Test substance : no data<br />
Method : Animals and treatments<br />
Limited experimental details are available for this study, which followed<br />
Draize method.<br />
0.1 ml undiluted dipropylene <strong>glycol</strong> was applied to the lower conjunctival<br />
sac of rabbits. Reactions were recorded at 4, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hr postinstillation,<br />
using the scoring system of Draize et al (1944, J Pharmac. Exp<br />
Ther, 82, 377 - 390).<br />
Remarks: Because this study was conducted before any standardized<br />
guidelines were established, the question of guideline methodology and<br />
GLP conduct is not applicable.<br />
Remark : Original reference not available for review, so methods and results were<br />
described based on a reputable secondary source.<br />
Result : Detailed results were not presented.<br />
Neat mildly irritating; formulation transient irritation<br />
Source : Lyondell Chemical Co. Houston, Texas<br />
Conclusion : The results from this study demonstrate that undiluted dipropylene <strong>glycol</strong><br />
causes mild, fully reversible irritation of the rabbit eye. The response is<br />
insufficient to trigger classification of dipropylene <strong>glycol</strong> as an eye irritant.<br />

5.3 SENSITIZATION<br />
Type : Patch-Test<br />
Species : human<br />
Number of animals : 503<br />
Vehicle : water<br />
Result :<br />
Classification : not sensitizing<br />
Method : other: repeated insult patch test<br />
Year : 1995<br />
GLP : no<br />
Test substance : as prescribed by 1.1 - 1.4<br />
Method : Subjects<br />
503 consecutive patients (212 men, 291 women) who entered the<br />
dermatology clinic with eczema were challenged with both cosmetic and<br />
synthesis grade dipropylene <strong>glycol</strong>.<br />
Challenge phase<br />
Patients received a challenge patch of 1, 2, 5, or 10% dipropylene <strong>glycol</strong> in<br />
water using a Finn chamber and Scanpor tape. The patch was left on the<br />
skin for 2 days. Reaction was graded after 2, 3, and 5-7 days.<br />
Scoring system<br />
A four point scale was used to record skin responses during induction and<br />
