Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema (grade 1) noted on abraded sites of 3 of 6 rabbits and intact sites of 3 of 6 rabbits at 72 hours post application. No other dermal effects were noted in the study.
Other effects:
No effects.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Initial protocol did not include provision for observation until reversibility up until 14-day observation period. Even though complete reversibility was not observed it was anticipated as was observed with irritation in dermal LD50 study.

 

The test substance was irritating to the skin based on persistent irritation at study termination.
