Irritant / corrosive response data:

One hour up to 24 hours after application of the test substance the conjunctiva of the animals showed definitely injected blood vessels and slight swellings. Additionally clear from substance coloured discharge was observed up to one hour after application. Two days after application all signs of irritationes were reversible.
