Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Millbrook Breeding Labs, Amherst, MA
- Age at study initiation: 14 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 2.8 - 3.1 kg
- Housing: The animals were housed 1/cage in suspended cages. Bedding was placed beneath the cages and changed at least three times/week.
- Diet: Fresh PMI Rabbit Chow (Diet #5321) was provided daily.
- Water: Ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20-22°C
- Humidity (%): 30-49%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12-hour light/dark cycle

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.5 mL/site.
- Concentration: Undiluted
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
3 days (The skin reactions were evaluated after 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours)
Number of animals:
3 (2 males, 1 female)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap: The trunk of the rabbit was wrapped with a piece of fabric (a semiocclusive dressing) and secured with adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done):The test article was kept in contact with the skin for 4 hours at which time the wrappings were removed. The test sites were wiped with paper towels saturated with tap water and blotted dry with paper towels.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
according to OECD Guideline 404
