Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

liquid

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 - 3.5 kg

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on dermal exposure:
Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by the one-day cuff method of Draize and associates. The fur was closely clipped over the entire trunk, and the close, retained beneath an impervious plastic film, contacted about 1/10 of the body surface.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
up to 20 mL/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4 animals
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
After 24 hours contact the film was removed. Mortality was considered complete after 14 additional days.
Statistics:
The most probable LD50 was estimated by the methods of Thompson (1947) and Weil (1952).
