Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
relatively harmless
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test material at 2000 mg/kg body weight caused transient facial staining, diarrhea and emaciation in only one of five females. All other animals appeared active and healthy. There is no need to classify or label the test material for acute dermal toxicity.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity test was conducted with rats to determine the potential for Composite NaF, to produce toxicity after topical application. Based on the results of testing, the single dose Acute Dermal Toxicity LD50 of the test substance is greater than 2000 mg/kg of bodyweight when applied as received, moistend with distilled water.

Two thousand milligrams of the test substance per kilogram of bodyweight was applied to the skin of ten healthy rats for 24 hours. The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and mortality at least once daily for 14 days. Bodyweight were recorded just prior to application and again on days 7 and 14 (termination). Necropsies were performed on all animals at terminal sacrifice.

All animals survived and gained bodyweight during the study. One female exhibited facial staining, diarrhea and emaciation between days 2 and 6. All other animals appeared active and healthy. Apart from the dermal irritation and/or discoloration noted at the dose site of all animals, there were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior. Gross necropsy findings at terminal sacrifice were generally unremarkable.

Conclusion:

The Single Dose Acute Dermal LD50 of Composite NaF is greater 2000 mg/kg of bodyweight when applied as received, moistened with distilled water.
