Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance caused irreversible effects to the exposed eyes predominantly expressed by heavy erythema, iritis (3/6), opacity and chemosis. Five animals showed bleeding of the mucous membrane. In four animals occured circum-corneal injections after 7 days and in 1 animal circum-corneal injections and eye reactions were not fully reversible within the observation period of 21 days.
