Dermal Sensitization Potential of JA-2 Solid Propellant in Guinea Pigs

Abstract

JA-2 Solid Propellant was evaluated for its potential to produce dermal sensitization in male guinea pigs. The Buehler test, which utilizes repeated closed patch inductions with the test compound, was used for this evaluation. No evidence that JA-2 Solid Propellant induced sensitization was obtained in the study. Keywords: JA-2 Solid propellant; Buehler test; Guinea pigs; Mammalian toxicology; Diethyleneglycol dinitrate; Nitroglycerin; Propellants; Dermal sensitization.
