Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:
In an acute oral toxicity study, Sprague-Dawley rats (5 per sex per group) were given a single dose of the test item in carboxymethyl cellulose (CMR) at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw (BASF 1974). Due to technical reasons, a higher test substance concentration (more than 16%) could not be applied. No mortality was observed within 7 days and the LD50 was determined to be > 5000 mg/kg bw.

Acute inhalation toxicity:
In an acute inhalation toxicity study, rats (6 per sex per group) were exposed by inhalation route to the test item at a mean concentration of 2.33 mg/L for 8 hours. No deaths and no abnormalities to the animals were observed after the exposure period. The LC50 (8h) was determined to be > 2.33 mg/L.

Acute dermal toxicity:
In an acute dermal toxicity study, groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (5 animals per sex per group) were dermally exposed to the test substance as a 50% aqueous test substance preparation by single dose of 2500 mg/kg for 24 hours on clipped areas (about 50 cm²) of the back. Animals were observed for 14 days. After 24 hours all animals showed tan substance residues however reddening was not visible. After 8 days, yellowish substance residues were visible however no effects were observed on any of the animals. No mortality occurred within 14 days and the LD50 was determined to be > 2500 mg/kg.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information classification for acute oral toxicity and acute dermal toxicity is not warranted in accordance with EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. 1272/2008.
