Any other information on results incl. tables

1 hour exposure time: After 30 to 60 min and after 24 hours clear erythema and very slight edema were seen. After 48 and 72 hours only dry skin and very slight desquamation were observed. Irritation scores: Erythema: 0.67, Edema: 0.33 After 6 days the effects were reversible. 4 hours exposure time: Direct after patch removal and 30 to 60 min strong subcutaneous bleeding and redbroun discoloration of the skin were observed. The skin was hardened and the animal showed a very strong erythema and edema Necrosis appeared 24 hours p.a. The animal was killed three days p.a..
