Conjunctiva effects are probably due to physical powder irritation. These effects are reversible within 24 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a Study performed to OECD Guideline 405, Ferrocene was non-irritating for the eye and ocular mucosa. of a rabbit. This is based on the overall score of (2.5/100) = 0.02
