- Age at study initiation: Young adult
- Weight at study initiation: 2.39—2.86 kilograms
- Housing: one per cage
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Animals were quarantined for at least five days.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- % coverage: 10—30% of total body surface
- Type of wrap if used: The test material was held in place by means of an occlusive wrap of latex rubber secured by bandaging and elastic tape.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- The occlusive wrap was removed after approximately 24 hours and the excess material was wiped from the animal.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females per dose
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Clinical observations were made three times during the first eight hours following test material administration and twice daily (morning and afternoon) thereafter until sacrifice, with the exception of one day when observations were only recorded once.
Body weights were recorded on days 0 (day of exposure), 7, and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Mortality:
No deaths were observed in animals of either sex.
Clinical signs:
other: Erytherna was observed in the exposed area of three male animals and one female rabbit on the first day after exposure. No other clinical abnormalities were noted.
Gross pathology:
At necropsy, pale renal coloration was observed in one male animal, but this was not considered to be related to exposure to the test material.
No abnormalities were observed in the remaining nine rabbits.
