Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema was present at the application site of all rabbits, and very slight edema was present at the application site of two rabbits, within 30 minutes after the four-hour exposure. One additional rabbit had very slight edema at the application site 24 hours after exposure. The erythema and edema resolved in all rabbits by 7 days after test material removal, and the test was then terminated.
Other effects:
Dermal application of 0.5 ml of the test subtance had no effect on body weight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Not irritating in rabbits
Executive summary:

The study was conducted following OECD guideline 404 and EPA guideline 81-5. The test substance was evaluated for primary dermal irritation. Aliquots of 0.5 ml of neat test substance were applied for four hours to the intact skin on the back of six New Zealand White rabbits.

Very slight erythema was present at the application site of all rabbits, and very slight edema was present at the application site of two rabbits, within 30 minutes after the four hour exposure. One additional rabbit had very slight edema at the application site 24 hours after exposure. The erythema and edema resolved in all rabbits by 7 days after test material removal, and the test was then terminated. Body weights were not affected.
