- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bw
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: the test material was administered as a solid moistened thoroughly with water

No. of animals per sex per dose:
5

Remarks on result:
other: recalculated value for anhydrous TMT based on 55% TMT
Mortality:
All animals survived to the end of the study.
Clinical signs:
other: Skin irritation was observed ranging from barely perceptible signs of irritation (slight erythema), to signs of strong irritation (servere erythema, slight edema) with irreversible skin damage. At the end of the observation period, scars were present at t
Gross pathology:
A large spleen, noted for a single male, was processed for microscopic examination. Histologically, the increased size of the spleen was associated with hyperplastic lymphoid follicles. The cause for this change was not identified, but may have been related to the inflammatory response associated with the skin damage seen in this rat. No other treatment-related changes or signs of organ toxicity were evident at necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified for hydrated form TMT 55; inconclusive for anhydrous TMT
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
Conclusions:
In this acute dermal toxicity study in the rat the LD50 for the test item TMT 55 was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw (corresponding to > 1100 mg anhydrous TMT/kg bw) for both sexes.
