INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skin irritation potential 0f when applied to the clipped, intact skin of New Zealand White rabbits. This study was conducted according to the applicable EPA Good Laboratory Practice Regulations. Areas of noncompliance are documented in the study records. No deviations existed that significantly affected the validity of the study.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Animal Husbandry
Young adult male and female New Zealand White rabbits were received from Hare Marland, Hewitt, New Jersey. The rabbits were housed singly in suspended, stainless steel, wire-mesh cages. Each rabbit was assigned a unique identification number which was recorded on a card affixed to the cage. Purina Certified High Fiber Rabbit Chow* #5325 and water were available ad libitum except as noted under Protocol. Rabbits were quarantine^ weighed and observed for general health for approximately 2 weeks. Animal rooms were maintained on a timer-controlled. 12-hour light/12-hour dark cycle. Environmental conditions of the rooms were targeted for a temperature of 20C + 2C and relative humidity of 50% + 10%. Any excursions outside these ranges were of small magnitude and/or brief duration and did not adversely affect the validity of the study.
B. Protocol
On the day prior to study initiation, the hair of 4 male and 2 female New Zealand White rabbits was closely clipped to expose the skin from the scapular to the lumbar region of the back The rabbits weighed from 2942 to 3460 grams on the day of treatment.
Each rabbit was placed into a stock which had been fitted with a . piece of rubber sheeting, approximately 8" x 18". The rabbits remained in the stocks throughout the exposure period and d u r i n c ^ U ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ o t have access to food or water. A 0.5 gram aliquot of
moistened with dimethyl phthalate (DMP), was applied directly to a 2-inch gauze square that was then placed on the test site. The patch was held in place with tape. The rubber sheeting was then wrapped around the animal and secured with clips to retard evaporation and to keep the test material in contact with the skin without undue pressure.

Approximately 24 hours after application of the test material, the rubber sheeting was loosened, and the skin at the corners of the gauze squares was marked with a waterproof pen; wrappings and gauze squares were then removed. The test sites were gently washed with warm water to remove excess test material. The skin was gently patted dry and the animals were returned to their cages. The material was moistened with DMP, but did not dissolve in DMP. Therefore, some of the compound may have fallen from the test site during the '^posure period.
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after application of the test material, the test sites were evaluated for erythema, edema and other evidence of dermal effects and were scored according to the Draize scale (Table I). The adjacent areas of the untreated skin were used for comparison.
C. Records Retention
All raw data and the final report will be stored in the archives of Haskell Laboratory for Toxicology and Industrial Medicine, E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company, Inc., Newark, Delaware or in the Du Pont Records Management Center, Wilmington, Delaware.
