- Amount of vehicle: 20.00 mL/kg body weight - Doses:
- 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500, or 7000 mg/kg of body weight based on range-finding study using the following doses: 1000, 2000, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg of body weight performed with one animal/sex/dose.
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Body weights were determined before test material administration (Day 0). Additional body weights were determined at Day 7 and at termination of the experimental phase (Day 14) or at death when survival exceeded 1 day.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, All study animals, whether dying during the study or euthanatized, were subjected to a gross necropsy examination and all abnormalities were recorded. After necropsy, the animals were discarded and all tissues with lesions were collected for possible future histological evaluation.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, organ weights, histopathology, other: Clinical signs and mortality checks were conducted at approximately 1, 2.5, and 4 hours after test material administration. Additional clinical signs and twice a day mortality checks (morning and afternoon) were conducted daily thereafter for 14 days. - Statistics:
- The LD50 value for males, females, and the sexes combined was determined by a computer program utilizing probit analysis. No other statistical analyses were required by the protocol.

- Mortality:
- At 4000 mg/kg bw there was no mortality. Most deaths at the higher dose levels occurred from day 7 to 13. A data overview can be found in 'Any other information on results incl. tables'.
- Clinical signs:
- other: The observed signs included hypoactivity, staggered gait, prostration, red-stained face, lacrimation, dyspnea, soft stool, stained urogenital area, redstained urine, tremors, and hypothermia.
- Gross pathology:
- At necropsy, the most prominent findings were in the DOTs and pertained to the contents and coloration changes in the gastrointestinal tract. The stomach and small intestines contain material of varied consistency and colour that probably represent test material mixed with ingestions. Some of the observations were also attributed to post-mortem change and autolysis or were considered common incidental findings. There were no visible lesions in the animals surviving to the end of the test periods.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In this study according to EPA 81-1 guideline the following LD50 values were found: 5693 mg/kg for males and 5955 mg/kg for females.
- Executive summary:
In this GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study performed according to EPA guideline 81-1, the test material was evaluated for its acute oral toxicity potential in male and female albino rats (Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD) when administered as a single gavage dose at levels of 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500, and 7000 mg/kg of body weight (5 animals/sex/dose). The test material was dissolved in water. After single exposure, rats were observed for 14 days. Mortality increased with increasing dosis: 0/10, 2/10, 5/10, 7/10 and 10/10 animals receiving 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500 and 7000 respectively. Clinical signs of toxicity included hypoactivity, staggered gait, prostration, red-stained face, lacrimation, dyspnea, soft stool, yellow/red/ or darkstained urogenital area, red-stained urine, tremors, hypothermic to touch, and death. There was no meaningful effect on body weight gain in those animals surviving to termination with the exception of two males which exhibited weight losses of 30 g each during the first week of the study. The most prominent findings observed at necropsy were in the animals dying during the study and pertained to the contents and coloration changes in the gastrointestinal tract. The calculated (probit analysis) oral LD50 was determined to be 5693, 5955, and 5820 mg/kg for males, females, and the sexes combined, respectively.

Acute oral toxicity
In this GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study performed according to EPA guideline 81-1, the test material was evaluated for its acute oral toxicity potential in male and female albino rats (Hsd:Sprague Dawley SD) when administered as a single gavage dose at levels of 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500, and 7000 mg/kg of body weight (5 animals/sex/dose) (Glaza 1991). The test material was dissolved in water. After single exposure, rats were observed for 14 days. Mortality increased with increasing dosis: 0/10, 2/10, 5/10, 7/10 and 10/10 animals receiving 4000, 5000, 6000, 6500 and 7000 respectively. Clinical signs of toxicity included hypoactivity, staggered gait, prostration, red-stained face, lacrimation, dyspnea, soft stool, yellow/red/ or dark stained urogenital area, red-stained urine, tremors, hypothermic to touch, and death. There was no meaningful effect on body weight gain in those animals surviving to termination with the exception of two males which exhibited weight losses of 30 g each during the first week of the study. The most prominent findings observed at necropsy were in the animals dying during the study and pertained to the contents and coloration changes in the gastrointestinal tract. The calculated (probit analysis) oral LD50 was determined to be 5693, 5955, and 5820 mg/kg for males, females, and the sexes combined, respectively.
Acute inhalation toxicity
In a GLP compliant acute inhalation toxicity study performed according to OECD guideline 403, groups of 5 male and 5 female Tif: RAI f (SPF) rats were exposed to the test material (Hartmann 1991). Because of the high variability of particle size of technical material as such, it was not possible to generate an aerosol of sufficient concentration and respirable particle size. For the inhalation study the test material had to be milled twice using a jet mill adding 1 % Sipernat 50S, a highly disperse amorphic siliciumoxide. 5 male and 5 female rats (Tif:RAIf (SPF)) were exposed to milled test material for 4 hours (nose only exposure) at the maximum attainable concentration of 1800 mg/m3 air. No mortality was recorded during the study. Clinical signs in both sexes included piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea, which cleared by day 4. Body weight gain was in the expected range. Gross necropsy revealed no observable abnormalities. There was no mortality. The observed signs included piloerection, hunched posture, and dyspnea. All animals recovered within 4 days. At autopsy, no compound-related deviations from normal morphology were seen.The acute inhalation LC50 in albino rats was determined to be greater than 1800 mg/m³.
Acute dermal toxicity
In this GLP compliant US EPA 81-2 study, the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was evaluated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (5 animals per sex) (Glaza 1991). The moistened test substance was administered as a single topical application under occlusive conditions at a level of 2000 mg/kg of body weight. After 24 hours of exposure, the test substance was washed using tap water and disposable paper towels. Clinical signs, body weight and mortality were recorded for 14 days after the end of the treatment. All animals were clinically normal and exhibited no dermal irritation throughout the study. Body weights were unaffected and no deviations from normal morphology were found. No animals died during the study. The estimated dermal LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data on acute oral and dermal toxicity, classification is not warranted according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
