Any other information on results incl. tables

2 sensitization experiments were carried out with 2 batches of Cyclohexanone resin. The 1st batch showed a sensitizing potential, while the 2nd only gave a statistically significant difference at the 24 h reading and at a challenge concentration of 10%. A GPMT with cyclohexanone did not reveal any allergenic potential.
