Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the dermal LD50 of Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda was ca. 3000 mg/kg in rabbits.
Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for acute dermal toxicity in rabbits, according to a method similar to O.E.C.D. guideline Nb.402. The test article was applied as a 50% aqueous dispersion to groups of male and female rabbits at doses of 1000, 2000 and 4000 mg/kg bw, respectively for 24 hours. At the end of the period of exposure, the animals were examined for 14 days.

At 4000 mg/kg, 3 males and 1 female died between 48 hours and day 14. Apathy, weight loss, reduced food intake were observed. No clinical signs were observed in the surviving animals after 3-4 days. At 2000 and 1000 mg/kg, all animals survived. No clinical signs were observed.

As the acute dermal LD50 was calculated as ca. 3000 mg/kg under the conditions of the test, Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP) and the Directive 67/548/CEE.
