Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 200 - <= 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
At 2000 mg/kg: contact with the undiluted sample caused pain. Erythema appeared immediately and then became black within 10 minutes. 2 of 3 rats dies overnight (>3 hours). Large areas of skin were completely destroyed in each of the animals.
Clinical signs:
other: not recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD 50: 200-2000 mg/kg/day
Executive summary:

Three rats were treated dermally with 2000 mg/kg and three were treated with 200 mg/kg (10% aqueous solution). Doses were applied to the hair clipped skin of the trunk under an occluding sleeve on each animal.The sleeves were removed 24 hours later and survivors were observed for seven days.

2000 mg/kg : contact with the undiluted sample caused pain appeared immediately and then became black within ten minutes.Two of the three rats died overnight (>3hours). Large areas of skin were completely destroyed in each of the animals.

200 mg/kg: contact with 10% dilution also caused pain. Erythema appeared within one minute and persisted without further change. None of the rats died. Scattered scabs were formed on each animal.
