Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1h reading a slight erythema formation was observed in all 3 animals (score 2 in 1 animal and score 1 in the other two animals), which were fully reversible within 48 h after test substance application in 2/3 animals. The third animal showed no signs of erythema at the 72 h reading. No edema reaction was observed at any time in any animal over the complete duration of the test.
Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were reported.
