Results and discussion

Effect levels
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The acute dermal toxicity was low (> 2000 mg/kg bw). No conclusions can be drawn due to the lack of experimental details reported in the secondary source.
Executive summary:

A secondary source reports a dermal LD50 value > 2000 mg/kg bw. The original report is not available (Exxon, undated, as cited in Hoechst AG, 1995).
