Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: According to 24-hour cuff method of Draize et al. 1944
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The LD50 was determined by a method closely akin to the one-day cuff method of Draize et al. (1944) using groups of 4 male albino New Zealand rabbits. The fur was removed by clipping and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film (i.e. occlusive). The animals were immobilized/exposed for 24 hours. Afterwards, the film was removed and the animals were observed for 14 days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
It can be concluded based on the study results that the acute dermal toxicity is > 16960 mg/kg bw and thus far above the limit for a classification according to GHS criteria.
