Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test material induced generally moderate ocular irritation including positive corneal and conjunctival irritation in the right eye of all animals and positive iridal reactions for three and two, unwashed and washed rabbits, respectively. Iridal irritation completely subsided by day 14 or earlier for the unwashed group and by day 4 for the washed group. Corneal irritation completely subsided by day 21 or earlier for all washed animals and by day 14 or earlier for two of the unwashed animals. Minor, reversible conjunctival redness persisted through day 21 for one washed eye. Corneal opacity and minor conjunctival redness persisted through day 28 (study termination) for one unwashed animal.
