Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study conducted equivalent to OECD 401, the LD50 was determined to be 5.85 mL/kg (aqueous solution), converted to be 6844 mg/kg (as the density is 1.17 g/mL). This would correspond to a LD50 of 3422 mg/kg for the substance.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested as an aqueous solution (ca. 50% solids) for acute oral toxicity in the rat. The test article was administered as a 1:1 dilution in water in a single oral dose at 5.0, 5.5, 6.25, and 6.5 mL/kg dose volumes to groups of 10 fasted rats. Examinations for mortality and clinical signs were performed daily for 7 days. One and 3 animals died in the groups administered 5.0 and 5.5 mL/kg, respectively. Seven animals died in the groups receiving 6.25 and 6.5 mL/kg of the test substance. Based on these results, the acute oral LD50 was calculated to be 5.85 mL/kg (aqueous solution), with 95% confidence limits of 5.4 - 6.3 mL/kg.

With a density documented to be approximately 1.17, the LD50 is estimated to be 6844 mg/kg for the aqueous solution. This corresponds to a LD50 of 3422 mg/kg for the substance.
