Irritant / corrosive response data:
Since there was no significant irritation at three minutes and one hour, the test substance was applied for a period of 4 hours. No erythema or oedema was noted in any of the test sites for the duration of the study. No corrosive effect was noted.
Other effects:
No overt signs of toxicity were evident in any of the animals during the course of the study. All of the animals exhibited a gain in body weight during the study.
