Table 3.

Dermal flux calculated after a 1-hr exposure using heat separated epidermal skin with both cells heated to 37 °C±1 °C.

The skin was exposed to 1 mg/l of the HANs and 10 mg/l of CH solutions with or without the surfactants sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS; n=3).

a

Same data as in Table 2 for 37 °C.

b

These means were found to be significantly higher at the flux with no surfactant at the 5% level using the Newman–Keuls test that tests multiple means.

c

This mean was found to be significantly higher than the SLES mean at the 5% level using the Newman–Keuls test.
