Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Details on maternal toxic effects:
At the 20000 and 50000 ppm there were significant dose-related decreases in maternal body weight gain over the first two days of inhalation exposures. At 50000 ppm this reduction in weight gain was accompagnied by a significant reduction in maternal food consumption and occasional instances of diminished alerting responses during the inhalation exposures. No evidence of maternal toxicity was detected at 5000 ppm. There was no evidence of developmental toxicity at any level tested.

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
5 000 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
Basis for effect level:
other: maternal toxicity

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Effects on fetus - Gross:
No compound-related effects on the incidence of early, late or total resorptions were detected. There were no dead fetuses.


No compound-related effects on mean fetal weight were detected. The values for mean fetal weight were comparable across the control and exposure group.

Effects on fetus - Soft tissue:
No compound-related effect on the incidence of fetal malformations and on the incidence of fetal variations was detected.

Effects on fetus - Skeletal:
No compound-related effect on the incidence of fetal malformations and on the incidence of fetal variations was detected.
