TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.9 kg (mean)

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
not specified
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Duration of treatment / exposure:
1, 5, 15 min and 20 h
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:
2
Details on study design:
Two animals were treated for 1, 5, 15 min and 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5x2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. After the application time (1, 5, 15 min) the skin was washed with Lutrol (50%). The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded daily. The report describes findings after 24 hours and at the end of the observation period (8 days). For a final evaluation, the findings after 48 and 72 hours from the raw data were taken into account.

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1)
- Time after start of exposure: 1, 5 and 15 min

Application of undiluted methyldiethanolamine to rabbit skin did not produce reactions after periods of 1 to 15 minutes but wide spanning reddening of the whole dorsal skin area and at the end of the observation period scale formation were reported in one animal after 20 hours contact with the substance.
