Limited Toxicity and Mutagenicity Testing of Five Unicharge Propellant Compounds.
Abstract
Bis (2,2-dinitropropyl) acetal/formal (-50/50 mixture) +/diphenyl amine stabilizer (BDNPA/F+ or - DPA) were tested for eye irritation. one group of six rabbits per study were administered 0.1 mL of the test article directly into the right eye. The treated eyes were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after treatment and grades of ocular reaction were recorded. Positive ocular scores were observed in both treatment groups at the 1 hour observation period. All scores were normal in both treatment groups for the remainder of the study. Based upon these observations BDNPA/F+ or - DPA were determined to be eye irritants. The Toxicity Category for Eye Irritation for both test articles is Class IV. Eye Irritation, Unicharge, Propellants, Bis(2 2-dinitropropyl) acetal, Bis-(2 2-dinitropropyl) formal, Lab animal, RA III.
