Irritant / corrosive response data:
1 hour after exposure, all the animals had slight to well-defined erythema, while 2/3 had very slight to slight edema. These effects gradually reduced in severity. 24 hours after exposure ended, 1/3 animals had very slight erythema and slight edema. the edema persisted until the 48-hour reading time point.All skin irritation effects had cleared completely within 72 hours after the exposure ended.
