Description of key information
Upon contact with water or moisture (e.g. within mucous membranes) aluminium tri-isopropanolate hydrolyses immediately to isopropanol and aluminium 3+ cations (as hydroxide and oxyhydroxide). Hence, toxicity is determined by the toxicity of these two species.
The oral acute toxicity of aluminium tri-isopropanolate reported as LD50 was found to be 11.3 g/kg bw (Smyth 1969).
The acute oral toxicity has of isopropanol has been determined being LD50 (rat) = 5.84 g/kg bw, (Smyth 1948). No data for aluminium are available.
Inhalation exposure of male and female rats to 5000 and 10000 ppm isopropanol produces transient concentration-related narcosis and/or central nervous system sedation (Gill 1991). However, as no mortality was observed at the highest tested dose of 10000 ppm the LC50 was set to > 10000 ppm. The inhalation LC50 for aluminium flakes was 888 mg/m3 (Korsak 1994, Reynolds 1986).
Isopropanol has a very low acute dermal toxicity that has been
determined being LD50 (dermal, rat) = 16.4 ml/kg bw = 12880 mg/kg bw.
Aluminium species (hydroxide or oxide) that may be formed during
hydrolysis are not classified for acute toxicity. These species are
insoluble in water and thus absorption via the skin is expected to be
low (see also Flarend (2001)).
In several inhalation studies (not reported here) isopropanol showed transient effects on the CNS (drowsiness and dizziness) and is therefore classified as STOT SE 3, H336 (according to Annex VI of Regulation EC 1272/2008).
Aluminium species (hydroxide or oxide) that may be formed during hydrolysis are not classified for acute toxicity.

Intra-session motor activity data was analyzed using a repeated measures analysis with dose as grouping factor and session time as the within subject factor. Group comparisons at each reporting epoch were made (as described above) if significant dose effects or time by dose interactions were observed.
The epsilon-adjustment procedure (Greenhouse-Geisser correction) was used in repeated measures analysis of motor activity data.
Frequency data from FOB tests was evaluated using Fisher’s exact
probability test.
All statistical tests were performed using BMDPm Statistical Software (Dixon, 1985 or Dixon, 1988). The fiducial limit of 0.05 was used as the critical level of significance for all tests. - Sex:

- Body weight:
- Body weight was measured at the time of behavioral testing so that any possible confounding effect that body weight might have on behavior could be assessed. Mean body weights for the five exposure groups were not statistically significantly different at any time during the study. Mean body weight tended to be lower for animals in the 10000 ppm exposure group assigned to FOB testing at the 6-hour and 24-hour post-exposure evaluations. This decrease is considered to reflect decreased food consumption during the time period when prostration and narcosis were observed.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 12 880 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- Aluminium hydroxide, aluminium oxide, aluminium oxyhydroxide are insoluble in water. Due to their insolubility it can be assumed that the absorption of these aluminium compounds via the skin will be limited. Therefore the LD50 is based on the other hydrolysis product isopropanol
Additional information
Upon contact with water or moisture (e.g. within mucous membranes) aluminium tri-isopropanolate hydrolyses immediately to isopropanol and aluminium 3+ cations (as hydroxide and oxyhydroxide). Hence, toxicity is determined by the toxicity of these two species.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Upon contact with water or moisture (e.g. within mucous membranes) aluminium triisopropylate hydrolyses immediately to isopropanol and aluminium 3+ cations (as hydroxide and oxyhydroxide). Hence, toxicity is determined by the toxicity of these two species and both when tested do not require classification for acute toxicity via oral, dermal or inhalation exposure. However, as isopropanol showed effects of transient concentration-related narcosis and central nervous system sedation, observed during exposure, the substance should be classified STOT SE 3, H336 May cause drowsiness or dizziness according to CLP (Regulation EC 1272/2008).
