- Animals
Young adult rats of the CD strain (remote Sprague-Dawley origin), supplied by Charles River (U.K.) Limited, Margate, Kent, England, were six to eight weeks old on arrival. The animals had been bredunder barriered conditions and travelled from the supplier to the animal-holding room in sealed boxes with filter protected air-vents. The albino rat was selected for this study as it has been widely accepted as the standard laboratory species for use in acute toxicity tests. The strain has been used for toxicological purposes since its establishment under S.P.F. conditions in 1955. The animals were housed in stainless steel grid cages measuring 54 x 33 x 20 cm, (Steven Clarke Fabrications Ltd., Alva, Clackmannanshire, Scotland)The grid floors ensured rapidremoval of waste material to undertrays which were cleaned as necessary. Five animals of the same sex were housed in each cage, unless reduced by mortality. The cages were suspended in mobile stainless steel racks.
Husbandry
The animals were held in a limited-access rodent facility. All rooms were kept at slight positive pressure relative to the outside and each had its own filtered air supply giving approximately 15 complete air changes per hour without re-circulation. Target values for temperature and relative humidity were 21°C (range 18°-25°C) and 55% R.H. (range 40%-70% R.H.), respectively. The achieved values were monitored daily. Electric time-switches regulated a lighting cycle of 12 hours of artificial light per day. An emergency generator was available to maintain the electricity supply in the event of a powerfailure. All personnel entering the building changed into clean protective clothing and wore a gown, gloves, plastic over-shoes and face mask
to service animal-holding areas. A commercially-available complete pelleted rodent diet (Laboratory Animal Diet No. 1, from Biosure, Manea, Cambridgeshire, England) was fed without restriction. The manufacturer supplied analytical data with each batch of diet which included concentrations of nutritional components, aflatoxins and selected heavy metals, pesticides and micro-organisms. The diet contained no added antibiotic or other chemotherapeutic or prophylactic treatment. Animals had free access to tap water supplied in a single bottle per cage and re-filled as required. The water was supplied by the East Anglian Water Company to meet the World Health Organisation International Standard. Regular reports from the local Water Authority recorded the known chemical and bacteriological quality of the water. There was no information indicating that normal levels of common contaminants, or any specific contaminants, would influence the outcome of the study.
Pre-exposure period
Clean cages were prepared the day before delivery of the animals. On arrival, each animal was inspected before being accepted. All animals were weighed on arrival and the range·of bodyweight was recorded. Five rats of the same sex were non-selectively allocated to each cage. Tail tattoos identifying each individual within the cage were made within one day of delivery. The sex of each animal was checked at the same time. An acclimatisation period of at least six days was allowed before administration of the test material. A daily check on the general condition of the ·animals was made during this time and the record was consulted before each cage of animals was accepted for use in the study. On the day before dosing, each cage was labelled with details of the schedule number, unique cage reference number, treatment regime, animal identification numbers, sex of occupants, Project Licence number and responsible licensee. The dorsum between the limb-girdles was clipped free of hair as close to the skin as possible using Oster small animal clippers. The exposed application site of each rat was examined before the animal was allocated to study. Bodyweight was recorded on the day prior to dosing and was in the range 250 - 260 g for males and 186 - 219 g for females. Theanimals were seven to nine weeks old at this time.
Preparation of test material
Fresh aliquots of the test material were dispensed on the morning of administration and any surplus remaining after dosing was
destroyed on the same day. The dosage was calculated and expressed gravimetrically in terms of the material as received.

Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Vehicle:
- maize oil
- Details on dermal exposure:
- The dose was determined for each animal according to its bodyweight on the morning of dosing. The test material was placed on a gauze patch and moistened by application of 0.2 ml distilled water immediately before dosing. This was intended to ensure good contact between the test material and the skin surface and to simulate the maximum adverse conditions of the product in use. The gauze patch was placed on the closely-clipped dorsum and was occluded with aluminium foil. The foil was kept in place and protected by a bandage of waterproof plaster (IISl ee k", Smith and Nephew Limited) wrapped twice around the trunk of the body with sufficient tension to ensure the dose remained securely in place. On completion of dosing, the animals were accommodated individually in Type RB3 cages measuring 45 x l8 x 20 cm (North Kent Plastics Limited, Dartford, Kent, England). The dressings were removed 24 hours after administration. The dermal site was gently wiped with wet disposable towels to remove residual test material. The animals were then returned to their original cages.
