Irritant / corrosive response data:
One animal used in the initial test, showed a well-defined erythema and a very slight edema on the posterior right test field immediately after the application.
1 h after the termination of exposure a well-defined erythema and a very slight edema were noted on the posterior right test field of the same animal. Two further animals displayed a very slight erythema on the anterior right test field.
24, 48 and 72 h after the termination of exposure a well-defined erythema was observed on the posterior right test field of the first animal. A second animal showed a very slight erythema on the anterior right test field, whereas a well-defined erythema was observed on the anterior right test field of the third animal.
7 days after the termination of the application the first animal showed large scales in a middle-grade on the whole posterior right test field. Slight scurf was observed on the anterior right test field of the second and third animals.
14 days after the termination of application the first animal showed slight scurf on then whole posterior right test field. Isolated scales were observed on the anterior right test field of the second animal, whereas the third animal was free of any signs of skin irritation.
