Irritant / corrosive response data:

3/3 animals had well-defined erythema at the 1-hr reading time point. The erythema had reduced in severity by 24 hours after exposure in 3/3 rabbits (score 1, 1, 1), and had cleared completely within 72 hours for 3/3 rabbits. No edema was observed in any animal at any time point (see Table 1).

Other effects:

There was no mortality, and no clinical signs were observed during the study period.
