Test system

Type of coverage:
other: applied to skin under gauze pad.
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 grams of the test substance was applied under 1.5 by 1.5 inch (14.5 cm2), 12-ply cotton gauze pads and the trunk of each rabbit was then loosely wrapped with rubber sheeting. The overall dose that was applied equated to 34.5 mg/cm2)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
4, 24, and 48 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
Animals were placed in an FDA-type stock. The test substance was applied to the clipped skin on the animal's back and covered with cotton gauze loosely wrapped with rubber sheeting. After 4 hrs, the rabbits were removed from the stocks, the wrappings were removed and skin reactions were evaluated. The test sites were then washed. Readings were again made at 24 and 48 hours after the initial application.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance was deemed not corrosive based on the requirements of the Department of Transportation, Hazardous Material Regulations, Title 49 CFR, Section 173.240(a)(1), December 31, 1973.
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied at a dosage of 34.5 mg/cm2to the shaved skin of six Albino rabbits. The test substance was applied to the clipped skin on the animal's back and covered with cotton gauze loosely wrapped with rubber sheeting. After 4 hrs, the rabbits were removed from the stocks, the wrappings were removed and skin reactions were evaluated. The test sites were then washed. Readings were again made at 24 and 48 hours after the initial application. None of the rabbits exhibited skin corrosion after 4, 24, and 48 hours.
