Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Shorn skin
- % coverage: approx. 10% of the total body surface area

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After the 24-hour contact period, treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with water using soap

Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
EXAMINATIONS:
During and after exposure, animals were observed for signs of toxicity several times on the day of application; at least once each workday for 14 days. At the end of the study, all animals were killed and subject to gross necropsy.
