Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
On the day prior to dosing, the hair was removed from the back of each rabbit with an electric clipper. The skin was left intact. The test material was applied once, as received, at a dose of 2000 mg/kg then spread evenly to cover 100% of the test site which was approximately 10% of the body surface. The test site was covered with a 1 x 1 inch gauze pad, wrapped with a gauze bandage, overwrapped with plastic wrap and then sealed with elastoplast tape. A collar was placed on each animal. The test site was washed 24 hours later with water and towel dried.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/Kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observations at 1,2 and 4 hours on day one then twice daily for the next 13 days. weighing prior to dosing, on day 8 and at study termination.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: pharmacotoxic signs
