Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Vehicle:

other: Milli-Q water

Details on dermal exposure:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsolateral thoracic surface of the skin
- % coverage: about 10% of body surface of the animal (9x6 cm in males; 8x5 cm in females)
- Type of wrap if used: cotton gaze and adhesive type

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The dressing was removed and the applied area was washed initially with water and with Johnson’s Baby Soap (Johnson & Johnson U.S.A.© J&J*TM) and again with water. Washed animals were wiped dry with a cotton hand towel.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000mg/kg bw
- Concentration (if solution):
- Constant volume used: no
- For solids, paste formed: yes

VEHICLE: milli-Q water

Duration of exposure:

24 h

Doses:

2000mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

not required

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations included clinical signs of toxicity and mortality four times on test day 1 (at hourly intervals after application) and once daily during days 2 - 15. Individual body weights of animals were recorded on test days 1 (Pre-application), 8 (7 days post application), and 15 (14 days post application). The site of application was observed for skin reactions once daily during the 15-day observation period.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, organ weights, histopathology

Category 5 based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

CLP: not classified

Conclusions:

Based on the present study results, the acute dermal LD50 of Tin disulfide (CAS 1315-01-1) is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight in male and female Wistar rats.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity test was conducted with Wistar rats (male and female) to determine the potential for Tin disulfide (CAS 1315-01-1) to produce toxicity from a short term exposure via the dermal route. The test item at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was made into a paste by adding sufficient volume of Milli-Q water, transferred on to the cotton gauze (size: Males: 9 x 6 cm; Females: 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply) and applied on to the clipped dorsolateral thoracic surface of the skin of the rats to cover about 10% of body surface of the animal under adhesive tape wound around torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours. After the 24 hour contact period, the dressing was removed and the applied area was washed and dried with a cotton hand towel. There were no clinical signs of toxicity, local skin reaction or mortality. At the end of observation period, all surviving animals were euthanized and subjected to necropsy. There were no abnormalities detected at the necropsy. Based on the present study results, the acute dermal LD50 of Tin disulfide > 2000 mg/kg body weight in male and female Wistar rats.
