Irritant / corrosive response data:
Only very slight effects (max. score = 1) were observed throughout the study. No edema were seen with the exception of animal #1 at the 1-hour reading. Slight erythema were seen in two animals 1 hour after application which were fully reversible within 72 h and 8 days, respectively.
