Details on exposure:
A 24 hour closed patch test was conducted on male and female volunteers.
Test material was applied undiluted to an area on the inner arm of the subjects measuring 1 cm in diameter.
Crystalline substances were applied in the same manner except as saturated alcoholic solutions. Immediately following application, the area was covered with an adhesive bandage for 24 hours. Reactions were read daily for 5 days.
Applications which produced visible inflammation, irritation, formation of a popular rash, or any abnormal condition of the area, were considered positive reactions. All positive reactions were confirmed by repetition of the test on the same subject after complete disappearance of positive systems. Results listed are number of positive reactions observed in the number of tests conducted
