Any other information on results incl. tables

No skin reactions were evoked at challenge with the polyalkalene glycol in 75% ethanol in either test or control group animals. Although this study was not primarily carried out to assess polyalkalene glycol, it can be reliably concluded that ethanol did not show any signs of sensitizing properties.
