In vivo

Results
Irritation parameter:
primary dermal irritation index (PDII)
Score:
5.9

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance produced severe erythema (score 4 ; readings at 4, 24, and 48 hrs)  and moderate edema (score 2; readings at 4, 24, and 48 hrs) in all animals. All test sites had become necrotic at the 4 hour reading.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

The intact rabbit skin (six New Zealand White) had become necrotic after a 4-hour contact to Butylethylamine (neat, 500 mg under occlusive dressing) (Safepharm, 1980).
