Effect level:
> 8 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
There was no mortality during the study period.
Clinical signs:
The high dose administration (8 g/kg bw) resulted in erythema (Day 1) in all 10 animals (female/males), edema (Day 7) in 2 males and 2 females. Desquamation was apparent on the dosed skin from Day 7 till Day 14 in 2 males and in all 5 females. Administration of the lower dose (4 g/kg bw) produced erythema (Day 1) and desquamation (Day 7 - 14) in all 10 animals (females/males).
Body weight:
The high dose administration (8 g/kg bw) resulted in emaciation (Day 7) in 2 males and 1 female, who recovered at Day 14, while in 1 female it was observed at Day 14. Administration of the lower dose (4 g/kg bw) had no impact on the body weight of any animal during the study period.
Gross pathology:
Gross pathologic examination revealed slightly mottled and dark red lungs in 2 males and enlarged kidneys and spleens in 2 females after administration of the high dose (8 g/kg bw), while administration of the lower dose (4 g/kg bw) produced no gross pathologic findings.

The redness was then observed in all 6 animals at the 4 h reading time point but was reversible in 5/6 animals within 24 h, while for 1/6 animals (female) this was reversible at 48 h.
Discharge was observed 1 h after application of the test substance in all 6 animals. This reaction was reversible in 1 and 5 animals at 4 h and 24 h, respectively.
No corneal effects were apparent in any animal and time point.
