- For solids, paste formed: yes

Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
Pretest: 5, 50, 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw dose levels, Maintest: 2000 mg/kg bw

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
There were no deaths in preliminary study at 5, 50, 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw dose levels
Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
no mortality
Clinical signs:
other: Neither male nor female animals treated at 2000 mg/kg bw showed behavioural changes and no systemic toxic signs were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms as slight erythema, wounds and crusts that was fully reversible at
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referred to the systemic toxic effect of the test item were seen during the necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present acute dermal toxicity study with the test item Crotonic acid, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female Crl:(WI)BR rats.
