Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with Ethanol, 2.2’-(methylimino)bis- (MDEA) dermally.
Executive summary:

In dermal toxicity study,rabbits were treated with Ethanol, 2.2’-(methylimino)bis- (MDEA) in the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw dermally. No mortality observed in treated rabbits. Sluggishness, unsteady gait, emaciation and prostration were observed after application of undiluted MDEA in treated rabbits but, surviving animals recovered during the observation period. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with Ethanol, 2.2’-(methylimino)bis- (MDEA) dermally.
