- Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Four hours exposure resulted in well defined or moderate to severe erythema and moderate edema in the treated skin areas of the three rabbits. Both, erythema and edema, had resolved within 7 days after exposure in all animals. However, at the end of the observation period, scaliness was noted in all animals and in addition bald skin at the edges of the application area was noted in two animals.
