IN-LIFE DATES: From: 07 Dec 1982 To: 15 Dec 1982

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
other: paraffin
Controls:
other: not required, untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 550 mg
A thick paste was prepared by mixing the test material with a few drops of paraffin.

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
8 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours, 6 and 8 days
Number of animals:
6 (3 males, 3 females)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approx. 6 cm² (shaved area: 10 cm x 10 cm)
- Type of wrap if used: The test site was covered with a gauze patch. The patch was held in contact with the skin by means of a polyethylene foil for the duration of the exposure period. Finally the animals were wrapped in flexible bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Residual test material was carefully removed with distilled water.
