Irritant / corrosive response data:
At the 1 h reading, no skin reactions were observed in the treated animals. Very slight to slight erythema and very slight edema were observed 24 and 48 h post-application, whereas only very slight erythema and no edema were noted at the 72 h reading time point. Erythema were fully reversible within 5 days after test substance application and no further reactions were observed after 7 days.
Other effects:
The sample had a slight defatting effect causing the skin to flake off in 7 to 10 days after application. There was no injury in depth.
