Any other information on results incl. tables

Lanolic Fatty Acids:

Slight to mild erythema and oedema were observed in both the intact and abraded sites at the 24 hour reading. The reactions ameliorated during the observation period and at 72 hours only slight erythema and oedema were observsd. The primary irritation index of 2.2, categorizes the material as "moderately irritant". However the substance has not been classified in terms of the Dangerous Substance Directive (DSD) or the Globally Harmonised System (GHS).
