Irritant / corrosive response data:
3 minutes exposure:
Edema and erythema extending beyond the area of exposure and hemorrhage was observed in the male animals up to 24 hours after exposure. Superficial scabbing/medium thickness scabbing was additionally observed 72 hours post exposure in the male test animals.
1 hour exposure:
Edema extending beyond the area of exposure was observed in all test animals at any time post exposure. Necrosis was observed one hour after exposure up to 48 hours, resulting in full thickness necrosis after 72 hours in the male animals and superficial scabbing in the female animal. Findings were confirmed by gross pathology examination.
