Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: young adult (based on body weight)
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 - 3.5 kg

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on dermal exposure:
Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates. The fur was closely clipped over the entire trunk, and the dose retained beneath an impervious plastic film.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
up to 20 mL/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4 animals
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
After 24 hours contact the film was removed. Mortality was considered complete after 14 additional days.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Statistics:
The most probable LD50 was estimated by the methods of Thompson (1947) and Weil (1952).
