One animal showed very slight edema 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the bandage. All signs of irritation had reversed by 6 days after application. One animal showed no signs of skin irritation during the entire observation period. It is concluded that the test substance is not irritating to the skin.

- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Within one hour of application, distinct hyperaemia of several blood vessels occurred in all animals. On one animal, the redness of the connective tissue was accompanied by a slight swelling, including the nictitating membrane. The cornea and iris showed no changes. Only one animal showed a slight redness of the connective tissue in the form of distinct hyperaemia of the blood vessels 24 hours after treatment. Further changes in the eye and conjunctiva were not observed. After 48 and 72 hours the eyes of all three animals were normal.

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD 405 and to GLP, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane was only very slightly and transiently irritating to the eyes of small white Russian rabbits and therefore was not classified as an eye irritant.

Additional information
2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested for acute skin irritation in a semi-occlusive study conducted according to OECD TG 404 and in compliance with GLP (Hüls, 1997c, reliability 1). Very slight erythema was observed after 30-60 minutes, and 2, 48 and 72 hours, in two of the three small white Russian rabbits exposed to the undiluted test substance for four hours. One animal showed very slight edema 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the bandage. All signs of irritation had reversed by 6 days after application. One animal showed no signs of skin irritation during the entire observation period. It is concluded that the test substance is not classifiable for irritation to the skin.
In an eye irritation study conducted according to OECD TG 405 and in compliance with GLP, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane was only very slightly and transiently irritating to the eyes of small white Russian rabbits and therefore was not classified as an eye irritant (Hüls, 1997d, reliability 1).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available studies on skin and eye irritation, [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane does not require classification for skin or eye irritation according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
