A viscous brown liquid

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The animals were housed 1 per cage. Feed and water were provided ad-libitum after dosing.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
The rabbits were prepared by clipping the skin of the trunk free of hair. Epidermal abrasions were made over a 5-6 cm2 area on 3 males and 2 females. The remaining five rabbits were not abraded. A non-permeable patch containing 2.0 ml/kg body weight of the test material was placed over a 4-5 cm2 area on all rabbits. The patches were secured in place with tape and an elastic sleeve. The rabbits were immobilized in head stocks for 24 hours at which time the patches were removed and the rabbits returned to their cages. Feed and water were provided ad-libitum. The rabbits were
observed for 14 days.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Control animals:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The Dermal LD50 of the test material is ~ 20 ml/kg for a 50% formulation. The LD50 as active ingredient is greater than 10,000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

A dermal acute toxicity test was conducted in New Zealand Albino Rabbits. Ten rabbits (5 male / 5 female) received a dose of 20 ml/kg bw of the test substance for 24 hours and were observed for 14 days for signs of toxicity and mortality. The skin of 5 rabbits was abraded prior to dosing (5-6 cm2 area on 3 males and 2 females). The Dermal LD50 of the test material is ~ 20 ml/kg. The LD50 as active ingredient is greater than 10,000 mg/kg.
