Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: P0 (first parental generation)

General toxicity (P0)

Clinical signs:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
No F0 parental animals died; F0 male body weights were reduced for all time points measures, weeks 4, 9, 11, and 21 at 300 and 1000 ppm and only for week 4 at 100 ppm.
None of the observations recorded for the F0 parents was such as to suggest a dose relationship.
Dermal irritation (if dermal study):
not examined
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
F0 male body weights were reduced for all time points measures, weeks 4, 9, 11, and 21 at 300 and 1000 ppm and only for week 4 at 100 ppm.
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Food consumption was unaffected.
Food efficiency:
not specified
Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
not specified
Ophthalmological findings:
not examined

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Exposure of Technical Butralin in te diet to rats at concentration of 0, 100, 300 or 1000 ppm for three generations (two litters per generation) resulted in adult toxicity (reduced body weight) at 300 and 1000ppm. There were no effects on reproductve performance at any mating in any generation at any dose level. Post natal survival was reduced at 1000 ppm for F1a, F2b, F3a and F3b but not F1b or F2a litters (and at 300 ppm for F3b litters only) and pup body weights were reduced (not statiscally significantly) at 1000 ppm on postnatal day 21 for F1a, F1b, F2a, F2b and F3a (but not F3b) liters. The NOEAL for parental and offspring toxicity was 100 ppm in this study.
