Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 875 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
not determinable because of methodological limitations
Mortality:
None at 875 mg/kg
Clinical signs:
other: No comportemental behaviour at 875 mg/kg

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
LD50 (orl, rat) is > 875 mg/kg
As there was no death observed at this dose, we could assume that LD50 (orl, rat) is > 2.000 mg/kg and in consequence, the substance should not be classified with regards to Acute toxicity by ingestion.
Danish (Q)SAR Database predicts a LD50 (orl, rat) at 2600 mg/kg/d (reliability Index: 0.74)
