Irritant / corrosive response data:
Twenty four hours following the 1-, 5- and 15-minute applications strong erythema and edema were seen. The 20-hour exposure (trial 1) caused slight necrosis in addition to erythema and edema. Six and eight days after the applications, slight scaling was observed for the 1-, 5- and 15 -minute applications. The 20-hour application (trial 1) caused parchment like necrosis of the upper skin layer and scaling. The trial 2 of 20 h application resulted into similar responses as observed in trial 1.
