Irritant / corrosive response data:
Instillation of 35.9 mg test substance into one eye of three rabbits each resulted in irritation of the conjunctivae which was seen as mild redness and mild-moderate chemosis in 3/3 rabbits at the 1-hour reading time point. 1/3 animals had a slight discharge 1 hour after application. 24 hours after application mild redness of the conjunctivae was still visible in all animals. This irritation had completely resolved within 48 hours in 2/3 animals and within 72 hours in 1/3 animal. 1 hour after application remnants of the test substance were still visible in all tested eyes.
