Irritant / corrosive response data:
One hour after the application of the test material, distinct hyperemia of some blood vessels (score 1) and slight chemosis (score 1) were observed in all animals. 24 hours later, one animal was free of irritation symptoms, two still showed hyperemia of some blood vessels (score 1), one of them in combination with slight chemosis. After 48 hours, the erythema was unchanged (score 1) in these two animals, whereas the chemosis had disappeared. After 72 hours, the erythema was only detected in one animal. On day 6, all animals had no more signs of irritation of the eyes or mucosae. No changes of the iris and cornea were detected throughout the observation period.
Other effects:
White slimy exudate in 2/3 animals 1 h after treatment.
