Irritant / corrosive response data:
After removal of the dressing the animals showed very slight to slight edema between 30 minutes and 72 hours, and very slight to moderate erythema up to day 7. The skin surface was dry, rough and showed fine to coarse scales, with desquamation. The irritation effects were fully reversible within 14 days.

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC and the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the test substance at a concentration of 30% active has to be classified as irritating to the skin (R38, CLP Skin Irrit. 2).
