Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: BASF internal standard protocol
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The fur of 2 rabbits was clipped and the unchanged test substance was applicated using a soaked test patch (2.5 x 2.5 cm). The patch was applicated onto the back of the animals. After an occlusive exposure period of 1, 5 and 15 minutes as well as 20 hours the application area was washed with Lutrol/water (1:1). Furthermore the ears were wrapped for 20 hours with a patch soaked with the test substance. Skin effects were documentated 24 hours and 8 days after the removal of the test patches.
GLP compliance:
no

Any other information on results incl. tables

24 h after the exposure for 1, 5, and 15 minutes, respectively, the skin on the back showed a slight erythema which emerged as severe irritation 8 days after the application. Treatment of the back skin for 20 h caused marked (full thickness) necrosis with dermatorrhagia after 24 h and 8 days. The ear showed severe irritation 24 h after the 20 h exposure and marked (full thickness) necrosis 8 days after the application.
