shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5g
- Concentration (if solution): not applicable

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
- Concentration (if solution): not applicable
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not applicable
- Purity: distilled
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
6: 3 males, 3 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 1x1 inch
- % coverage: not specified
- Type of wrap if used: gauze patch + tubular stockinette sleeve

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): rinsing with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours

SCORING SYSTEM:
- EPA dermal evaluation scoring : the 30-60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hour erythema and edema scores were added and the total divided by 24 to yield the mean Primary Irritation Index (P.I.I.).
- EEC dermal evalution: the 24, 48 and 72 hour erythema and edema scores were added separately and each total divided by 18 to yield a primary irritation inex for both erythema and edema.
