Guideline:
EU Method B.4 (Acute Toxicity: Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Before OECD Guideline 404 was first adopted in 1981, skin irritation was tested using a BASF test.
The methods were based on Draize (Federal Register 38, No. 187, § 1500.41, p. 27019 (1973-09-27)).

no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Test on intact skin, 20-hour application (key information):
The key results are summarised in the irritation/corrosion results table (see above).
The mean erythema score (24/72 hours) was ≥ 2.5 in 3/3 rabbits. Findings were not fully reversibe in 3/3 rabbits within the observation period of 8 days. At the end of the observation period, superficial necrosis, which in contrast to full thickness necrosis represents an indicator for strong irritancy, was noted in 1/3 rabbits and scaling was observed in 2/3 rabbits.
The mean edema score (24/72 hours) was 2.5 in 2/3 rabbits. Findings were not fully reversible in 1/3 rabbits.

Test on abraded (scarified skin), 20-hour application (supporting information):
The mean erythema score (24/72 hours) was 4 in 3/3 rabbits. Necroses indicative of strong irritancy were seen at the 24- and 72-hour readings and at the end of the 8-day observation period in all rabbits.
The mean edema score (24/72 hours) was ≥ 2.5 in 3/3 rabbits. The findings were not reversible within 8 days.

Short-term test (supporting information):
No findings were noted in 2/2 rabbits (24/48 hours) following exposure for 5 min. Exposure for 2 hours resulted in a mean erythema score of 0.5 and no edema in one rabbit, and in a mean erythema score of 2 and a mean edema score of 0.5 in the remaining rabbit. These findings were fully reversible within 8 days.
Other effects:
None

Any other information on results incl. tables

A primary irritation score of 5.8 was calculated (under consideration of the test results for intact plus abraded skin). The test item was considered to be a moderate irritant based on this score.
