OECD <strong>SIDS</strong> PROPYLENE GLYCOL<br />

5. Toxicity<br />

Id 25265-71-8<br />

Date 30.05.2001<br />

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 />
