CorrositexTM In Vitro Test with H-21333
SUMMARY
H-21333 was evaluated for skin corrosion potential using the In Vitro International CorrositexTM assay. The results of the assay were used to determine the United Nations' corrosive packing group. CorrositexTM is a standardized and quantitative in vitro corrosivity test. The model is based on the time required for the test substance to pass through a biobarrier membrane and produce a change in a chemical detection system.
Approximately 0.5 g of H-21333 was applied to each of 4 membrane discs. The test substance passed through the membranes 97-122 minutes after application. Under the conditions of this test, H-21333 is a corrosive substance and is assigned to Packing Group III.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to determine skin corrosion potential of H-21333 using the In Vitro International CorrositexTM assay kit. The results of the assay were used to determine the United Nations' Packing Group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Protocol The biobarrier membrane discs were prepared on the day the assay was
run. For the assay, a membrane disc was placed onto each of the 5 scintillation vials containing the chemical detection system (CDS). Approximately 0.5 g of H-21333 was placed on top of the discs of 4 vials. One vial was similarly treated with a positive control (sodium hydroxide). Each vial was observed for an alteration in the CDS. This alteration may include color changes, flaking, or precipitation.
B. Records Retention All raw data and the final report will be stored in the archives of
Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Newark, Delaware or in the DuPont Records Management Center, Wilmington, Delaware.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Breakthrough of the biobarrier occurred as follows: Vial 1 (Positive Control) - 6 minutes Vial 2 (H-21333) - 112 minutes Vial 3 (H-21333) - 122 minutes Vial 4 (H-21333) - 105 minutes Vial 5 (H-21333) - 97 minutes Average time for vials 2, 3, 4, and 5 = 109 minutes Under the conditions of this test, H-21333 is a corrosive substance and is placed in Packing Group III.
