TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Skippack Breeding Farm
- Weight at study initiation: intact skin: 3.055 kg, abraded skin: 3.083 kg
- Housing: individually in stainless steel suspended cage
- Diet (ad libitum): Putina Rabbit Chow

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- rabbits were clipped free of fur over the entire upper back area (rabbits showing signs of dermal irritation or lesions were replaced)
- five of the test sites were abraded by making a series of five parallel superficial scratches in the dermis, the remaining five were left intact
- The test substance was applied at 2000 mg/kg bw to the shaved skin and wrapped with an impervious band which was left in place for 24 h. Where necessary, the animals were restrained or equipped with an "Elizabethan Collar" to prevent bandage removal.

Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10 (no information about sex, 5 with intact skin, 5 with abraded skin )
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Animals were observed for mortality for up to 48 h
- Treatment sites were evaluated for signs of erythema or edema according to the Draize Scoring System at 24 and 48 h after removal of the patch
- Body weight was recorded at dosing
