Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no mortalities during the study. With the exception of skin irritation, there were no clinical signs of toxicity except that on day 4 soft stool was observed in 1 male and 3 female animals. Dermal irritation ranged from slight to severe for erythema and edema, from slight to marked for fissuring and slight to moderate for atonia and desquamation. Slight coriaceousness was also observed. Body weight losses were recorded for 2 male and 3 female animals at day 7. One male was less than starting weight on both day 7 and day 14.
