Irritant / corrosive response data:
Test on intact skin, 20-hour application (key information):
The key results are summarised in the irritation/corrosion results table (see above).
The mean erythema score (24/48/72 hours) for the 6 rabbits ranged from 1 to 2. Findings were fully reversibe in 5/6 rabbits within 72 hours and in 1/6 rabbits within the observation period of 8 days.
The mean edema score (24/48/72 hours) for the 6 rabbits was 1. Findings were fully reversible within 72 hours.

Test on abraded (scarified) skin, 20- or 24-hour application (supporting information):
The mean erythema score (24/48/72 hours) for the 6 rabbits was 2.8. The erythema seen in all animals were not reversible within the 8-day observation period. On day 8, necroses indicative of strong irritancy were seen in 4/6 rabbits and scaling was noted in the 2 remaining rabbits.
The mean edema score (24/48/72 hours) for the 6 rabbits was 2.0. Edema were fully reversible in 5/6 rabbits within 8 days, while the edema score for the remaining rabbit was 2 on day 8.

Short-term test (supporting information):
No findings were noted in 2/2 rabbits (24/48 hours and 8 days) following exposure for 5 min. Exposure for 2 hours resulted in a mean erythema score of 0.5 (score 1 at 24 hours, score 0 at 48 hours) and no edema in both rabbits. The findings were fully reversible within 48 hours.
Other effects:
Macroscopic examination revelaed yellow discolouration of fat tissue in one rabbit and the presence of parasites in the liver of another rabbit. The local clinical findings noted during the in-life period (necrosis, scaling) were confirmed for all animals.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A primary irritation score of 3.53 was calculated (under consideration of the test results for intact plus abraded skin). The test substance was considered to be a moderate irritant based on this score.
