Irritant / corrosive response data:
Slight local skin reactions visible as erythema graded with score 1 were observed in all test animals 1 hour after patch removal. 24 hrs after patch removal, slight erythema (grade 1) were still visible in 2/3 animals. The erythema were fully reversible 48 hrs after patch removal. Oedema were not observed in any test animal.
Other effects:
No other effects are reported.
