Diethylamine produced dermal corrosion at all sites exposed to the test article. The dermal response was initially characterized by necrosis at the three minute scoring interval and progressed to eschar at one hour (2/3 rabbits) and 24 hours (3/3 rabbits). The eschar persisted throughout the remainder of the seven day study. A very slight edema was noted during the test period and diminished by test termination.
