Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight or well defined erythema was present on the application sites of all animals for up to and including Day 2 or 3.Very slight oedema was present on 5 of the 6 animals after decontamination. This persisted in 2 animals for a further 2 or 3 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Materials and methods
A sample of PROXEL Press Paste was assessed for its skin irritation potential according to US EPA PAG 81-5.
A group of six male rabbits received a single four-hour application of 500 mg (moistened with 0.5 mL water) of the test sample to the shorn flank. The animals were assessed for up to 4 days for any signs of skin irritation.

Results and discussion
Following a single four-hour application, very slight or well defined erythema was present on the application sites of all animals for up to and including Day 2 or 3. Very slight oedema was present on 5 of the 6 animals after decontamination. This persisted in 2 animals for a further 2 or 3 days. No other signs of irritation were seen.

Conclusion
PROXEL Press Paste was a slight irritant to rabbit skin, following a single four-hour application.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the substance in rabbits according US EPA Guideline OPP 81 -5. A group of six male rabbits received a single four-hour application of 500 mg (moistened with 0.5 mL water) of the test sample to the shaved flank. The animals were assessed for up to 4 days for any signs of skin irritation. Very slight or well defined erythema was observed on the application sites of all animals up to Day 2 or 3. Very slight oedema was present on 5 of the 6 animals, which persisted in 2 animals till Day 3.  No other signs of irritation were seen. Under the study conditions, the substance was not considered to be irritating to rabbit skin (Robinson, 1993).
