Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: not reported
- The back and flanks of rabbits were clipped 24 h prior to use. The shoulder and hips were used as test sites, two areas on each animal being scarified and two intact. Scarification was accomplished by making four intersecting epidermal scratches, each about 2 cm long, with a scalpel blade. A patch consisting of three layers of gauze was secured over each area with adhesive tape, and undiluted compound was introduced under the gauze. The rabbits were wrapped in towels and immobilized for 24 h, after which the areas were examined and irritation scores noted.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no

SCORING SYSTEM: according to Draize JH (1955)
