Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate was administered undiluted at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw to 3 male and 3 female New Zealand rabbits. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate was applied under gauze (8 ply) and occlusive rubber for 24 hours. The animals were observed for mortality, body weight and clinical signs.

There were no deaths after administration of bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate. There was no significant change in body weights after 14 days. No toxic signs were observed. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate elicited signs of severe irritation in all animals. Eschar and severe edema were observed and persisted through the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate was administered undiluted at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw to 3 male and 3 female New Zealand rabbits. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate was applied under gauze (8 ply) and occlusive rubber for 24 hours. The animals were observed for mortality, body weight and clinical signs.

There were no deaths after administration of the test compound. There was no significant change in body weights after 14 days. No toxic signs were observed. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphate elicited signs of severe irritation in all animals. Eschar and severe edema were observed and persisted through the study. A dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.
