Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity of isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer in Wistar rats was established to exceed
10 000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity study of isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer was determined with 5 male and 5 female WISTAR rats. Both male and female rats were treated with 10 000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for symptoms of clinical toxicity and mortality for 14 days after treatment. The treated animals showed slightly ruffled fur and restlessness 30-60 minutes after dosing,  2-5 hours after dosing additionally crouched posture, diuresis and  diarrhea. 24 hours after dosing the rats revealed ruffled fur and diuresis. 48 hours after dosing all rats were free of symptoms. No mortality occured, no apparent changes were found in body weight.

Dissection at the end of the experiment revealed partial hyperemia of small intestine mucosa (4  animals),  additionally congestion spleen (1 animal) and slight hyperemia of  gastric mucosa (1 animal).

Therefore the oral LD50 value of isophorone diisocyanate cyclodimer in Wistar rats was established to exceed 10 000 mg/kg bw.
