Description of key information

Three female rabbits were exposed to the substance during 4 hours under semi-occlusion. Examination of the skin for signs of oedema and erythema at 1, 24, 48 and 66 hours after removal of the dressing showed no irritation (all scores 0). The substance is non-irritant to the skin (NOTOX 1985).

Three female rabbits received 64 mg (0.1 mL) of the substance in the eye. The eyes were observed for signs of irritation after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and after 7 and 14 days. No effects were found on the cornea and the iris. The effects on the conjunctivae were limited and fully reversible. The substance is considered not irritating to the eyes (NOTOX 1985).

In an abstract of a study submitted to US-EPA, the substance was reported to be severly eye damaging (Kodak 1992)
