Any other information on results incl. tables

The study showed that dermal application of 0.5 g of the solid test substance, while being wetted with completely de-ionized water, to three animals for 4 hours under semi-occlusive conditions did not lead to any skin irritations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

In a OECD Guideline study (404) with rabbits, the dermal application of 0.5 g of the solid test substance to three animals for 4 hours did not lead to any skin irritations (Hüls AG 1992c).
