Irritant / corrosive response data:
There was no evidence of a corrosive or irritation effect on the skin.
Other effects:
Purple staining of the treated skin by the test substance was observed throughout the study period, which did not hamper the scoring of the skin reactions.
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the test period and no mortality occurred.
