Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: OECD420, EU method B.1 bis: LD50 >2000 mg/kg body weight
Acute inhalation toxicity: OECD 403, EU method B.2: LC50 >2.51 mg/L (highest tchnically feasible dust concentration)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Value:
2 510 mg/m³ air

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity: The LD50 was >2000 mg/kg body weight. No classification is therefore derived.

Acute inhalation toxicity: The LC50 was >2.51 mg/L which was the highest technically feasible concentration of the generated dust.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification is derived for acute toxicity after oral administration, as the LD50 was <2000 mg/kg body weight.

The acute toxicity via inhalation yielded a LC50/4h of >2.51 mg/L. 2.51 mg/L was the highest technically reproducible dust concentration in that experiment. In a preliminary experiment, however, animals had to be sacrificed as moribund after having been exposed to slightly higher test substance concentrations. Therefore it is assumed that the LC50/4h is close to 2.51 mg/L and in each case below 5 mg/L. Although respirable dust fractions at higher concentrations may not be technically producible, the classification derived is "Harmful by inhalation".
