Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Animal #1 used in the initial test showed a well-defined erythema on the posterior left test field immediately after the application.
- 1 h after the termination of exposure a well-defined erythema was observed on the posterior left test field of animal #1. Animal #2 showed a well-defined erythema on the anterior left test field, whereas a very slight erythema was observed on the anterior left test field of animal #3.
- 24, 48 and 72 h after the termination of exposure animal #1 showed a very slight erythema on the posterior left test field. A well-defined erythema and a very slight oedema were observed on the anterior left test field of animal #2. Animal #3 showed no skin reactions.
- 7 days after the termination of exposure small, white scales were still observed on approximately 60% of the anterior left test area of animal #2, whereas animal #1 showed no skin reactions anymore.
- 14 days after the termination of exposure animal #2 was free of any signs of skin irritation, too.
- The mean value for erythema and oedema formation calculated from these individual scores was 1.0 and 0.3 respectively.
