Irritant / corrosive response data:
After 21 days, the substance still produced corneal opacity (whole area, from slight to severe) and visible vascularization in all 3 animals. Slight redness of conjunctiva (score 1) was still observed after 21 days in one animal.
In the area of application no staining of the cornea and conjunctivae by pigment or coloring of the test article was observed. No corrosion of the cornea was observed at any of the measuring intervals.
Other effects:
The body weight gain of all rabbits was similar. No acute toxic symptoms were observed in the animals during the test period, and no mortality occurred. Due to the results obtained, no macroscopic organ examination w as indicated.
