ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Room temperature kept constant at 18±2°C, the relative humidity at 50-60%. 12 hours illumination per day.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
other: undiluted (no vehicle) after warming the test material (temperature not specified in the report)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL test material (after warming it) per approx. 6 cm2 skin (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) per animal
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days post patch removal
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE PREPARATION

Samples of 0.5 mL of the warmed test material were applied to the shaved skin of albino rabbits and covered with gauze squares of the size 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm on the skin. Patches were fixed with adhesive plaster. Untreated shaved skin served as controls.

TREATMENT PERIOD AND REMOVAL OF TEST MATERIAL

Semi-occlusive treatment lasted 4 hours. Then the dressings were removed and residual test substance was dabbed off the skin with a wet towel.

Time points of skin evaluation:

The treated skin patches were evaluated at 1 hour post patch removal and at 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days post patch removal. Only differences from controls were considered to be positive reactions. The scoring system for the grading of skin reactions is listed in Table 1 (next field below).

Irritant / corrosive response data:
In each animal, erythema, scab or edema formation was not evident at any observation time point of the study.
Other effects:
Mortality or behavioural changes indicative of an adverse effect were not evident. Weighing of the animals at 7 days post treatment revealed normal body weight gain.
