- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Humidity (%): 55 ± 15
- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: shaved and abraded
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Reading time points: 24 and 72 h
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: the flank
- Type of wrap if used: the test site was covered with an 8-layer hydrophile gauze, which was held in place by a 5-cm Blenderm tape. A 10-cm flexible bandage was wrapped around the trunk, covering the test site, and fixed using adhesive tape.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Intact skin:
At the 24-hour reading time point, 2/3 rabbits had well defined erythema (score 2) and 1/3 had slight erythema (score 1). 72 hours after patch removal, the severity of the skin effects was reduced to slight erythema (score 1) in 1/3 animals and had cleared completely in 2/3. Slight edema (score 1) was observed in 2/3 rabbits at the 24-hour reading time point, which had cleared completely by the 72-hour reading time point. No edema was noted in the third animal.

Abraded skin:
At the 24-hour reading time point, 3/3 rabbits had well defined erythema (score 2), which was reduced in severity to slight erythema (score 1) in 1/3 animals and had cleared completely in 2/3 animals by 72 hours after patch removal. Slight edema (score 1) was observed in 2/3 rabbits 24 hour after patch removal. The edema had cleared completely at the 72-hour reading time point.
