Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance caused strong erythema and edema after a 24 h treatment. The irritation index of 5.8 gives indication that the substance is strongly irritating to the skin.
Other effects:
72 h after application all animals were dead because of hematuria, splenic congestion, bloody intestine lymph nodes, petechia at the thymus, soaked liver - alltogether, a strong substance-related toxicity was found.
