Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was noted at all treated skin sites at the 24 and 48-hour observations and at one treated skin site at the 72-hour observation.
Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining treated skin site appeared normal at the 7-day observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Draize classification criteria, 1959
Conclusions:
Mild irritant
Executive summary:

A single 4-hour, semi-occluded application of the test material to the intact skin of three rabbits produced very slight erythema. Two treated skin sites appeared normal at the 72-hour observation and the remaining treated skin site appeared normal at the 7-day observation. The test material produced a primary irritation index of 0.7 and was classified as mild irritant to rabbit skin according to Draize classification scheme. No corrosive effects were noted.
