Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A study was performed administrating C14 -labelled Hexamethyleneimine to male rats and analysis of the urine for nonvolatile radioactive compounds was performed (details on administration and sampling of urine not clearly stated). Analysis revealed that there were at least two radioactive compounds detectable (which were not further characterised).
