INTRODUCTION
^fRwhen The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skin Irritation potential
of
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 noncompllance 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 Marl and, Hewitt, Mew 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 iS'5325 and water were available ad Hbltum except as noted under Protocol. Rabbits were quarantined, 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 t 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 one female
male New Zealand White rabbits was closely clipped to expose the from the scapular to the lumbar region of the back. The rabbits from 2773 to 3145 grams on the day of treatment.
and 5
skin weighed
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 during_ha_ time did not
have access to food or water. A 0.5 mL aliquot of f^------I was applied directly on the test site beneath a 2-inch gauze square that 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 mm water to
remove excess test material. The skin was gently patted dry and the animals were returned to their cages.
Approximately 24 ahd 48 hours after application of the test material, the test sites were evaluated for erythema, edema and other evidence of
dermal effects and werie 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, wllinington, Delaware.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
