Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back and flanks
- % coverage: 10%
- Type of wrap if used: The treated skin was covered with a surgical gauze which was held in place with a piece of self-adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The skin was wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove residual test substance.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 1.99 mL/kg bw
- Constant concentration used: yes
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
