Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
There were no deaths following a single dermal application of test item at 2.0 g / kg bodyweight.
Clinical signs:
other: There were no signs of systemic reaction to treatment.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic abnormalities were observed for animals killed on Day 15.
Other findings:
DERMAL RESPONSES
Staining (orange) prevented assessment of erythema for all rats on Day 2; no evidence of oedema was recorded at this time. Although some residual (orange) staining was apparent on Days 3 and 4, there were no signs of erythema or oedema at any of the application sites from Day 3 to the end of the study.
