Duration of treatment / exposure:

For the first animal: 3 mins, 1 hour and 4 hours
For the other two animals: 4 hours

Observation period:

72 hours

Number of animals:

3 males

Details on study design:

One rabbit was initially treated. Three suitable sites were selected on the back of the rabbit. At each test site a quantity of 0.5 g of the test material, moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. Each patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animal interfering with the patches, the trunk of the rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset for the duration of the exposure period.
One patch was removed at each of three time points: 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours after application. Any residual test material was removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
After consideration of the skin reactions produced in the first animal, two additional animals were treated with 0.5 g of test material moistened with 0.5 mL of distilled water. One patch was applied to the back of each rabbit, and was allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a period of four hours.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

3-minute exposure period:
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.

1-hour exposure period:
No evidence of skin irritation was noted during the study.

4-hour exposure period:
Very slight erythema was noted at one treated skin site one hour after patch removal. Well-defined erythema and very slight oedema were noted at one treated skin site and very slight erythema was noted at one other treated skin site at the 24-hour observation. Very slight erythema was noted at one treated skin site at the 48-hour observation.
One treated skin site appeared normal at the 48-hour observation and one other treated skin site appeared normal at the 72-hour observation. One treated skin site appeared normal throughout the test.

Other effects:

All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study.
