Irritant / corrosive response data:
After 1 h both animals showed erythema and oedema reactions (grade 1). The erythema scores were increasing up to 72 h (grade 2), and were not fully reversible within 14 days. Edema scores increased after 24 h (grade 2) only in animal 1, but were fully reversible within 72 h (animal 1) to 5 days (animal 2). Desquamation was observed at the treated site in animal 1 from day 4 to 7 and in animal 2 from day 6 to 8.

Other effects:
Neither mortalities nor significant clinical signs of toxicity were observed. There were no significant body weight changes during the contact and observation period.
