Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

Application of 500 mg Trimethylolpropane/rabbit on the inner surface of one rabbit's ear of each of the 2 rabbits (the other one served as control) for 24 hours followed by a 7-day-observation period, does not result in irritational effects at any time point (Bayer AG 1979).
