Irritant / corrosive response data:
Small scabs and/or dark (bluish green) spots were observed at the site of exposure in 4 rabbits over numerous observation periods and in 1 rabbit at a single observation period.
The largest spots or scabs were about 0.5cm in diametre. Very slight erythema and/or edema was noted at times at the outer edge of the scabs or spots.
All signs of dermal irritation at the exposure site were completely reversible in 5 of the rabbits by day 14. In the remaining rabbit, very slight erythema and small scabs were still noted on day 14.
