-Summary of Nulex® Liquid Zinc 15
Corrosive Test-
The potential irritant and/or corrosive
effects of NULEX Liquid Zinc 15 were evaluated on the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
Each of six rabbits received three 0.5 mL doses of the test article as a single dermal
application. The doses were held in contact with the skin under a semi-occlusive binder
for exposure periods of 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours, respectively. Following the
3-minute exposure period, an approximate 2" X 2" section of the overlying
elastic wrap was cut and the patch was removed. Any residual test article was removed by
wiping the test site with gauze moistened with deionized water. Following the 1-hour
exposure period, an approximate 2" X 2" section of the overlying elastic wrap
was cut and the patch was removed. Any residual test article was removed by wiping the
test site with gauze moistened with deionized water. Following the 4-hour exposure, the
binder was removed and the remaining test article was wiped from the skin using gauze
moistened with deionized water. Test sites were subsequently
examined and scored for dermal irritation for up to 72 hours following patch removal.
Exposure to the test article for a 3-minute exposure period produced a
pinpoint area of erythema on 1/6 test sites. No other dermal irritation was noted during
the study.
Exposure to the test article for a 1-hour exposure period produced very
slight erythema on 3/6 test sites by the 24 hour scoring interval. The dermal irritation
resolved completely in all animals by the 72 hours scoring interval.
Exposure to the test article for a 4 hour exposure period produced very
slight to well-defined erythema on 6/6 test sites and very slight edema on 2/6 test sites
by the 24 hour scoring interval. The dermal irritation resolved completely in 3/6 animals
by the 72 hour scoring interval.
Under the conditions of this test, NULEX Liquid Zinc 15 did not produce
evidence of corrosion during the 3-minute, 1 or 4-hour exposure periods. |
-Summary of Nulex® Liquid Zinc 20
Corrosive Test-
The potential irritant and/or corrosive
effects of NULEX Liquid Zinc 20 were evaluated on the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
Each of six rabbits received three 0.5 mL doses of the test article as a single dermal
application. The doses were held in contact with the skin under a semi-occlusive binder
for exposure periods of 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours, respectively. Following the
3-minute exposure period, an approximate 2" X 2" section of the overlying
elastic wrap was cut and the patch was removed. Any residual test article was removed by
wiping the test site with gauze moistened with deionized water. Following the 1 hour
exposure period, an approximate 2" X 2" section of the overlying elastic wrap
was cut and the patch was removed. Any residual test article was removed by wiping the
test site with gauze moistened with deionized water. Following the 4-hour exposure, the
binder was removed and the remaining test article was wiped from the skin using gauze
moistened with deionized water. Test sites were subsequently
examined and scored for dermal irritation for up to 72 hours following patch removal.
Exposure to the test article for a 3-minute exposure period
produced very slight erythema on 5/6 test sites at the 3 minute scoring interval. The
dermal irritation resolved completely in all animals by the 72 hour scoring interval.
Exposure to the test article for a 1 hour exposure period
produced very slight to well-defined erythema on 5/6 test sites and very slight edema on
1/6 test sites by the 24 hour scoring interval. The dermal irritation resolved completely
in 4 of the affected animals by the 48 hour scoring interval. Dermal irritation remained
on 1/6 test sites at study termination (72 hour scoring interval). Additional dermal
findings of focal and/or pinpoint superficial lightening, blanching and eschar were noted
on 1/6 test sites.
Exposure to the test article for a 4-hour exposure period
produced very slight erythema on 6/6 test sites at the 4 hour scoring interval and very
slight edema on 1/6 test sites at the 24 hour scoring interval. The dermal irritation
resolved completely in 5/6 animals by the 72 hour scoring interval.
Under the conditions of this test, NULEX Liquid Zinc 20 did
not produce evidence of corrosion during the 3 minute, 1 or 4 hour exposure periods. |
