In a key study the undiluted substance was applied to New Zealand white rabbits under semi-occlusive dressing for four hours. Application sites were evaluated in accordance with the method of Draize at approximately 30-60 minutes following patch removal, were also made after 24, 48 and 72 hours and on days 7 and 14. In this study, slight irritation was seen which resolved within 14 days of exposure. The primary irritation index was calculated to be 1.7 for sites treated with the test material.
