Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Species: Rat, Wistar strain Crl:(WI) BR (outbred, SPF-Quality). Recognised by international guidelines as the recommended test system (e.g. OECD, EC). Source: Charles River Deutschland, Sulzfeld, Germany.
Number of animals: 6 Animals. Each dose group consisted of 3 animals of one sex (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant).
Age and body weight: Young adult animals (approx. 8 weeks old) were selected. Bodyweight variation did not exceed +1- 20% of the sex mean.
Identification: Earmark.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
Conditions: Animals were housed in a controlled environment, in which optimal conditions were considered to be approximately 15 air changes per hour, a temperature of 21.0 ± 3.0°C (actual range: 17.2-23.2°C), a relative humidity of 30-70% (actual range: 48 - 83%) and 12 hours artificial fluorescent light and 12 hours darkness per day. Cleaning procedures in the room might have caused the temporary fluctuations above the optimal maximum level of 70% for relative humidity. Based on laboratory historical data, these fluctuations were considered not to have affected the study integrity.
Accommodation: Group housing of 3 animals per sex per cage in labelled Macrolon cages (type IV; height 18 cm.) containing purified sawdust as bedding material (SAWI, Jelu Werk, Rosenberg, Germany).
Acclimatisation period was at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions.
Diet: Free access to standard pelleted laboratory animal diet (from Altromin (code VRF 1), Lage, Germany).
Water: Free access to tap-water.
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
The toxicity of the test substance was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 animals.
The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg (2.062 ml/kg) body weight.
Dose volume calculated as dose level: specific gravity.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 males and 3 females all receiving 2000 mg/kg
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
TREATMENT
A health inspection was performed prior to commencement of treatment, to ensure that the animals were in a good state of health.
Method: Oral gavage, using a stainless steel stomach tube.
Fasting: Food was withheld overnight (for a maximum of 20 hours) prior to dosing until 3-4 hours after administration of the test substance.
Frequency: Single dosage, on day 1.
Dose level (volume): 2000 mg/kg (2.062 ml/kg) body weight. Dose volume calculated as dose level: specific gravity.

OBSERVATIONS
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15.
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (day 1) and once daily thereafter, until day 15. The symptoms were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded:
Maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4)
Maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3)
Maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1).
Necropsy: At the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by asphyxiation using an oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure and subjected to necropsy. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Statistics:
No statistical analysis was performed (The method used is not intended to allow the calculation of a precise LD50 value).

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of HATCOL 3331 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute oral toxicity with HATCOL 3331 in the rat (Acute Toxic Class Method).

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.1100. "Acute Oral Toxicity"; EC Commission Directive 96/54/EC, Part B.1 tris "Acute Toxicity-Oral, Acute Toxic Class Method", OECD No.423, "Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method" and JMAFF Japanese test guidelines.

 

HATCOL 3331 was administered by oral gavage to three Wistar rats of each sex at 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of bodyweight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred.

Hunched posture and piloerection were observed among all females on day 1. Males were without clinical signs.

The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The oral LD50 value of HA TCOL 3331 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC), HATCOL 3331 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for oral toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of HATCOL 5236 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute oral toxicity with HATCOL 5236 in the rat (Acute Toxic Class Method).

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.1100. "Acute Oral Toxicity", June 1996; EC Commission Directive 96/54/EC, Part B.1 tris "Acute Toxicity-Oral, Acute Toxic Class Method" and OECD No.423, "Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method".

HATCOL 5236 was administered by oral gavage to three Wistar rats of each sex at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred.

Hunched posture was noted in all animals on day 1.

The body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The oral LD50 value of HATCOL 5236 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kgbody weight.

Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC), HATCOL 5236 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for oral toxicity.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3344 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 3344 in the rat.

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.1200. "Acute Dermal Toxicity, ECCommission Directive 92169/EEC, Part B.3, "Acute Toxicity-Dermal", OECD No102, "AcuteDermal Toxicity" and JMAFF: Japanese Test Guidelines.

HATCOL 3344 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weeklydetermination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred.

All females and some males showed scales, scabs and/or general/maculate erythema on the treated skin site during the observation period from day 3 onwards. In addition chromodacryorrhoea was noted among some animals on days 1 and/or 2, with diarrhoea in one male between days 2 and 4.

The body weight gain during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3344 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC), HATCOL 3344 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for dermal toxicity.

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3331 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 3331 in the rat.

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.1200. "Acute Dermal Toxicity", EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part B.3, "Acute Toxicity-Dermal", OECD No.402, "Acute Dermal Toxicity" and JMAFF: Japanese Test Guidelines.

HATCOL 3331 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000, mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred.

Hunched posture and/or chromodacryorrhoea were noted among all animals on day 2. In addition, maculate erythema or scales were seen on the treated skin site of one male andfemale between days 3 and 7.

The body weight gain during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3331 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kgbody weight.

Based on these results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC), HATCOL 3331 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for dermal toxicity.

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
The test substance was dosed undiluted as delivered by the sponsor.
A health inspection was performed prior to commencement of treatment, to ensure that the animals were in a good state of health. Special attention was paid to the skin to be treated, which was intact and free from any abnormality.
Method: Dermal application.
Clipping: One day before exposure (day -1) an area of approximately 5x7 cm on the back of the animal was clipped.
Application: The test substance was applied in an area of approx. 10% of the total body surface, Le. approx. 25 cm2 for males and 18 cm2 for females. The test substance was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch, successively covered with aluminium foil and Coban flexible bandage". A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.
Frequency: Single dosage, on day 1.
Dose level (volume): 2000 mg/kg (2.0 ml/kg) body weight. Dose volume calculated as follows: dose level: specific gravity.
Application period: 24 hours, after which dressings were removed and the skin cleaned of residual test substance using Water.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
Single dosage. Dose level (volume): 2000 mg/kg (2.0 ml/kg) body weight.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females

Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 5236 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 5236 in the rat.

The study was carried out based on the guidelines described in: "Acute Toxicity-Dermal", OECD No.402 (1987); "Acute Dermal Toxicity, EC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, Part B.3 (1992); Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): Health Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS 870.1200 (1996), "Acute Dermal Toxicity" and JMAFF: Japanese Test Guidelines (2000).

HATCOL 5236 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred.

Chromodacryorrhoea (nose), hunched posture and lethargy were noted among the animals.

The animals had recovered from the symptoms by day 3.

Erythema was seen in the treated skin-area of one animal on day 3.

The changes noted in body weight gain in males and females were within the range expected for rats used in this type of study and were therefore considered not indicative of toxicity.

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 5236 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kgbody weight.

Based on these results and according to the:

OECD Harmonized Integrated Hazard Classification System for Human Health and Environmental Effects of Chemical Substances (OECD, 1998), HATCOL 5236 does not have to be classified for acute toxicity by the dermal route.

EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC), HATCOL 5236 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for dermal toxicity.

CAS 67762-53-2

The acute toxicity via the oral route of Fatty acids, C5-9 tetraesters with pentaerythritol has been investigated in two studies with rats (CAS No. 67762-53-2).

An acute oral toxicity study (limit test) was performed according to OECD Guideline 420 (fixed dose procedure) (Zolyniene, 1999). Groups of 5 males and females fasted CD Sprague-Dawley rats received single oral gavage doses of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 days following administration. No mortalities occurred. One animal showed alopecia extremities on snout which was not considered treatment related. No further clinical signs of toxicity were reported. No effect on body weight was noted. Finally necropsy revealed no substance-related findings. Thus, the acute oral LD50 was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Another acute oral toxicity study (limit test) was performed comparable to OECD Guideline 401 (D’Aleo, 1984). The test substance was administered by gavage at a concentration of 15000 mg/kg bw to groups of 5 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were observed for 14 days following administration. No mortalities occurred. All animals exhibited clear, oily perineal staining on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day following treatment. This condition normally regarded as an adverse effect, was considered to be a consequence of the high dose level administered and not considered a toxic sign. No further clinical signs of toxicity were reported. The acute oral LD50 was found to be greater than 15000 mg/kg bw.

In summary, the oral LD50 of Fatty acids, C5-9 tetraesters with pentaerythritol is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 68424-31-7

The study conducted with Fatty acids, C5-10, esters with pentraerythritol (CAS No.68424-31-7) (Robinson, 1991) with limitations (reduced animal number), revealed but revealed no mortality and no other toxic effects, but an initial weight loss after treatment of rats with 2000 mg/kg bw. However this effect was completely reversible and the animals showed subsequently normal body weight gain.

 

CAS 71010-76-9

An acute oral toxicity study with Decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, pentaerythritol and valeric acid (CAS 71010-76-9) was performed according to OECD Guideline 425 (up and down procedure, limit test) and GLP (Mallory, 2006). Decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, pentaerythritol and valeric acid was administered by gavage to one female Sprague-Dawley rat at the starting dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Since no mortality and no other toxic effects could be detected during the 14 day study period, 4 further female animals were equally dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period. No effect on body weight was noted. Finally, necropsy revealed non substance-related findings. The oral LD50 value in female rats was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 85586-24-9

An acute oral toxicity study (limit test) was conducted with Fatty acids, C8-10, tetraesters with pentaerythritol (CAS 85586-24-9) (Kästner, 1981). The test did not follow a specific guideline and was not GLP-compliant. Thus, only limited details were reported. The test substance was administered by gavage at a concentration of 5 mL/kg (4800 mg/kg bw) to 10 male Wistar rats. The animals were observed for 14 days following administration. No mortalities occurred during the study period. Ruffled fur and slight sedation was observed during the first 24 h after dosing. The acute oral LD50 was found to be greater than 4800 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 19321-40-5

An acute oral toxicity study with Pentaerythritol tetraoleate (CAS 19321-40-5) was performed according to OECD Guideline 423 (acute toxic class method, limit test) and GLP (Pels Rijcken, 1997). Pentaerythritol tetraoleate was administered by oral gavage to three Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15). No treatment related abnormalities were observed. The oral LD50 value in rats was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 62125-22-8

The acute toxicity via the oral route of 2,2-bis[[(1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl bis(isooctadecanoate) has been investigated in rats in three studies (CAS No. 62125-22-8).

Two acute oral toxicity studies (limit tests) were performed according to OECD Guideline 401 ((1) Debets, 1984, GLP-compliant; (2) Bouffechoux, 1997). The test substance was administered by gavage at a concentration of (1) 5000 mg/kg bw and (2) 5 mL/kg (corresponding to 4600 mg/kg bw, based on density of 0.92 g/mL) to groups of five male and female Wistar rats. The animals were observed for 14 days following administration. No mortalities occurred. No clinical signs of toxicity, no changes in body weights and no differences at macroscopic examination were reported. The acute oral LD50 was found to be greater than (1) 5000 mg/kg bw and (2) 4600 mg/kg bw.

Another acute oral toxicity study (limit test) was performed comparable to OECD Guideline 401 (Sugar, 1981). The test substance was administered by gavage at a concentration of 10000 mg/kg bw (1.5 mL/100 g bw) to groups of five male and female CD rats. The animals were observed for 14 days following administration. No mortalities occurred. All the rats were hypoactive at the 4 h observation time point. No further signs of toxicity were noted during the study period. The acute oral LD50 was found to be greater than 10000 mg/kg bw.

In summary, the oral LD50 of 2,2-bis[[(1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl bis(isooctadecanoate) is greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

HATCOL 2937

An acute oral toxicity study was performed with Fatty acids, C8-10, triesters with trimethylolpropane (CAS 91050-89-4) comparable to OECD 401 (limit test) (Kästner, 1983).Only limited documentation was available but all relevant data were given. The test substance was administered by gavage to 5 male and female Wistar rats at 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. No treatment related clinical signs of toxicity were observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period. In addition no effect on body weight was noted. Thus, the oral LD50 value in rats was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity

CAS 68855-18-5

For acute inhalation toxicity, one study is available within the NPG esters and was considered for assessment of all NPG esters and of two TMP esters and read-across was conducted based on a category and/or weight of evidence approach.

An acute inhalation toxicity study was performed with Heptanoic acid, ester with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol (CAS 68855-18-5) according to OECD Guideline 436 (acute toxic class method) under GLP conditions. Three RccHanTM:WIST rats per sex were exposed for 4 hours to 5.22 mg/L (mean achieved concentration) test substance aerosol by nose only inhalation (Griffiths, 2012). The test concentration was chosen based on the outcome of a preliminary test with two rats at a dose of 2.14 mg/L. In the main study, the animals were subjected to daily observations for clinical signs, and twice daily for morbidity and mortality. Body weights were determined prior to treatment and afterwards on test Days 1, 3, 7, and 14. After terminal sacrifice the animals were submitted to full external and internal observation. Detailed macroscopic examination of the respiratory tract was performed to determine signs of irritancy or local toxicity. No mortality occurred throughout the study period. Signs of hunched posture and pilo-erection were commonly seen in animals for short period on removal from the chamber following 4-h inhalation studies. Wet fur was commonly recorded both during and for a short period after exposure. These observations were considered to be associated with the restraint procedure and, in isolation, were not indicative of toxicity. In addition, an increased respiratory rate was noted in all animals. On removal from the chamber and 1 h post-exposure, all animals exhibited increased respiratory rate and ataxia. One day after exposure, all animals still showed increased respiratory rate and also hunched posture as well as occasional instances of pilo-erection. All animals recovered to appear normal from Days 5 to 8 post-exposure. All animals showed the expected body weight gain during the study, except for one female which not gained weight during the final week of the 14-day observation period. In addition, one male exhibited a slight loss in body weight on the first day of exposure. Necropsy revealed no treatment-related findings. The inhalation LC50 value in rats was determined >5.22 mg/L.

For acute inhalation toxicity, one study is available within the TMP esters. Heptanoic acid, ester with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol (CAS 68855-18-5) and Fatty acids, C5-10, esters with pentraerythritol (CAS 68424-31-7) were used for assessment of the TMP esters and read-across was conducted based on a category approach.

 

CAS 78-16-0

An acute inhalation toxicity study was performed with 2-ethyl-2-[[(1-oxoheptyl)oxy]methyl] propane-1,3-diyl bisheptanoate (CAS 78-16-0). 5 male and female rats (strain not specified) were exposed for 1 hour to 20 mg/L test substance vapour (Anonimous, 1978). The test substance caused no clinical signs, body weight changes or abnormalities in necropsy during the 15 day study period. Only one animal died on day 14. The LC50 was therefore found to be greater than 20 mg/L air, however since the original report is not available and because of only one hour of exposure this study is found insufficient for hazard assessment.

For acute inhalation toxicity, three studies are available from the PE esters within the polyol esters category. Fatty acids, C5-10, esters with pentraerythritol (CAS 68424-31-7), Fatty acids, C5-9, mixed esters with dipentaerythritol and pentaerythritol (CAS 85536-35-2) and Fatty acids, C5-9 tetraesters with pentaerythritol has been investigated in rats in two studies (CAS No. 67762-53-2) were used for assessment of the PE esters and read-across was conducted based on a category and/or weight of evidence approach.

 

CAS 67762-53-2

The acute toxicity via the inhalation route of Fatty acids, C5-9 tetraesters with pentaerythritol has been investigated in rats in two studies (CAS 67762-53-2).

The first study was conducted comparable to OECD Guideline 403 and according to GLP. 10 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed for 4 hours to 0.48 or 4.06 mg/L test substance aerosol by whole body inhalation exposure (Mekitarin, 1990). No mortality, clinical signs, body weight changes or abnormalities in necropsy were observed during the 15 day study period in any group. The LC50 was therefore found to be greater than 4.06 mg/L.

In the second study 10 male and 5 female CD Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed for 4 hours to 5.5 mg/L test substance aerosol by nose/head only inhalation (Hoffman, 1999). No mortalities occurred during the study period. Nasal discharge was noted as the only sign of clinical toxicity. The test group females lost weight during the first week after the test material exposure, but gained weight during the second week after exposure. In all other animals no effect on body weight was noted. Necropsy examination revealed no substance-related findings. The LC50 was therefore found to be greater than 5.50 mg/L.

In summary, the LC50 of Fatty acids, C5-9 tetraesters with pentaerythritol is greater than 5.5 mg/L.

 

CAS 68424-31-7

An acute inhalation toxicity study was performed with Fatty acids, C5-10, esters with pentraerythritol (CAS 68424-31-7) comparable to OECD Guideline 403. 5 male and female Alpk:APfSD rats were exposed for 4 hours to 5.0 mg/L test substance aerosol by nose only inhalation (Parr-Dobrzanski, 1994). The test substance caused no mortality, body weight changes or abnormalities in necropsy during the 15 day study period. Some clinical signs were noticed, which consisted of hunched position, chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, staining around nose and wet fur. These signs however occurred during or just after exposure and were clearly consistent with the use of restraint for exposure. The LC50 was therefore found to be greater than 5.1 mg/L.

 

CAS 85536-35-2

An acute inhalation toxicity study was performed with Fatty acids, C5-9, mixed esters with dipentaerythritol and pentaerythritol (CAS 85536-35-2) comparable to OECD Guideline 403. 5 male and female Alpk:APfSD rats were exposed for 4 hours to 5.0 mg/L test substance aerosol by nose only inhalation (Parr-Dobrzanski, 1994). The test substance caused no mortality, body weight changes or abnormalities in necropsy during the 15 day study period. Clinical signs during and immediately after exposure included hunched posture, chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, stains around the nose and wet fur. In general, animals showed a rapid recovery from these effects by Day 2, although, hunched posture and piloerection persisted in few animals to Days 4 and 8, respectively. No effect on body weight was noted. Necropsy and histopathological examination revealed non substance-findings. The LC50 was therefore found to be greater than 5.0 mg/L.

Acute Dermal Toxicity

For acute dermal toxicity, one study is available for the NPG esters and was considered for assessment of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl dioleate (CAS 42222-50-4). No reliable studies on the acute dermal toxicity are available for NPG esters within the polyol esters category. In regard to the estimated low dermal absorption calculated with DERMWIN (v 2.0, 2011, see toxicokinetic chapter), dermal uptake of the sub-category members is considered as low. Therefore, dermal exposure for the NPG esters within the polyol esters category is not expected to be associated with any adverse effects on human health as dermal absorption can be considered as nearly negligible.

 

Acute Dermal Toxicity 

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 3331 in the rat.

HATCOL 3331 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000, mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred. Hunched posture and/or chromodacryorrhoea were noted among all animals on day 2. In addition, maculate erythema or scales were seen on the treated skin site of one male and female between days 3 and 7. The body weight gain during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3331 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg/body weight.

 

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 3344 in the rat.

HATCOL 3344 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred. All females and some males showed scales, scabs and/or general/maculate erythema on the treated skin site during the observation period from day 3 onwards. In addition chromodacryorrhoea was noted among some animals on days 1 and/or 2, with diarrhoea in one male between days 2 and 4. The body weight gain during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 3344 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

 

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with HATCOL 5236 in the rat.

HATCOL 5236 was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex by dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred. Chromodacryorrhoea (nose), hunched posture and lethargy were noted among the animals. The animals had recovered from the symptoms by day 3. Erythema was seen in the treated skin-area of one animal on day 3. The changes noted in body weight gain in males and females were within the range expected for rats used in this type of study and were therefore considered not indicative of toxicity. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The dermal LD50 value of HATCOL 5236 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg/body weight.

CAS 42222-50-4

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl dioleate (CAS 42222-50-4) according to OECD Guideline 402 (standard acute method, limit test) and GLP (Haferkorn, 2012). Five WiCD/Crl:CD(SD) rats per sex were dosed 2000 mg/kg bodyweight for 24 hours on the back skin under occlusive conditions. The animals were subjected to daily observations and body weights were determined prior to test material administration and weekly thereafter. Skin reactions (erythema and oedema) were observed and scored 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after test substance application (Days 2-5), as well as on Days 8-12 during the 14-day observation period. Macroscopic examinations were performed after terminal sacrifice. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study period. No skin erythema and edema (scores 0) were observed 24, 48 and 72 h after substance application and up to the end of the 14-day observation period. No effects on body weights were noted and necropsy revealed no treatment-related findings. The dermal LD50 value in rats was determined >2000 mg/kg bw.

For acute dermal toxicity, four studies are available from TMP esters group and were considered for assessment of TMP esters within the polyol esters category and read-across was conducted based on a category approach.

 

CAS 78-16-0

Two acute dermal toxicity studies are available for 2-ethyl-2-[[(1-oxoheptyl)oxy]methyl]propane -1,3-diyl bisheptanoate (CAS 78-16-0). Both were conducted comparable to “16 CFR 1500.40” guideline as a limit test.

In the first study, 10 New Zealand White rabbits (5 with intact, 5 with abraded skin) were exposed to 5000 mg test substance/kg bw for 24 hours on the back skin under occlusive conditions (Moreno, 1978). The observation period was 14 days. No mortality occurred during the study period.

Slight to moderate diarrhea was observed in 5/10 animals on Days 8 to 14. Slight yellow discharge around the nose of one animal was observed on Days 6, 9 and 10 and worsened on Days 11 through 14.

On Day 1, all 5 animals with intact skin and 4/5 animals with abraded skin showed moderate erythema according to the Draize scoring system. One animal with abraded skin showed slight erythema formation. No edema was observed in any animal (shaved or abraded) after 24 h. No necropsy was performed. Thus, the acute dermal LD50 in rabbits was found to exceed 5000 mg/kg bw.

In the second study, 10 albino rabbits (5 with intact and 5 with abraded skin) were exposed to 2000 mg/kg bw test substance for 24 hours (Morgareidge, 1974). No mortalities or clinical signs were observed. Therefore, the LD50 was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw. In summary, the LD50 was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 11138-60-6

An acute dermal toxicity (limit test) was performed on Fatty acids, 8-10 (even numbered), di- and triesters with propylidynetrimethanol (CAS 11138-60-6) according to OECD Guideline 402 and GLP (Blanset, 1997). 5 male and female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 2000 mg test substance /kg bw for 24 hours on the back skin under semiocclusive conditions. The observation period was 14 days. No mortality or clinical signs of systemic toxicity were noted in any animal during the study period. 4 male animals lost 0.1 kg body weight whereas the remaining animals had a constant body weight over the study period. Necropsy at study termination revealed no abnormalities. Thus, the acute dermal LD50 in rabbits for Fatty acids, 8-10 (even numbered), di- and triesters with propylidynetrimethanol was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 403507-18-6

An acute dermal toxicity (limit test) was performed on Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear ester with trimethylolpropane (CAS 403507-18-6) according to OECD Guideline 402 and GLP (Sanders, 2004). 5 male and female Sprague-Dawley CD (Crl: CD IGS® BR) rats each were exposed to 2000 mg test substance /kg bw for 24 hours on the back skin under semiocclusive conditions. The observation period was 14 days. No mortality, clinical signs of systemic toxicity and changes in body weight were noted in any animal during the study period. Necropsy at study termination revealed no abnormalities. Thus, the acute dermal LD50 in rats for Fatty acids, C16-18 and C18-unsatd., branched and linear ester with trimethylolpropane was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

For acute dermal toxicity, two studies are available for the PE esters and were considered for assessment of members of PE esters within the polyol esters category and read-across was conducted based on a category and/or approach.

 

CAS 71010-76-9

An acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) was performed on Decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, pentaerythritol and valeric acid (CAS 71010-76-9) comparable to OECD Guideline 402 and GLP (Mallory, 2006). 5 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 2000 mg test substance /kg bodyweight for 24 hours on the back skin under semiocclusive conditions. The observation period was 14 days. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were noted in any animal during the study period. Body weight gain and necropsy at study termination revealed no abnormalities. Thus, the acute dermal LD50 in rats for Decanoic acid, mixed esters with heptanoic acid, octanoic acid, pentaerythritol and valeric acid was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

CAS 62125-22-8

An acute dermal toxicity test (limit test) was performed on 2,2-bis[[(1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl bis(isooctadecanoate) (CAS 62125-22-8) according to OECD Guideline 402 and GLP (Debets, 1984). 5 male and female Wistar rats each were exposed to 2000 mg test substance /kg bw for 24 hours on the back skin under occlusive conditions. The observation period was 14 days. No mortality and clinical signs of systemic toxicity were noted in any animal during the study period. Body weight gain and necropsy at study termination revealed no abnormalities. Thus, the acute dermal LD50 in rats 2,2-bis[[(1-oxoisooctadecyl)oxy]methyl]-1,3-propanediyl bis(isooctadecanoate) was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

Conclusion for acute toxicity

Several studies are available investigating the acute oral toxicity of polyol esters category members resulting in oral LD50 values greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Five reliable studies investigating the acute inhalation toxicity within the polyol esters category are available resulting in LC50 values > 5.0 mg/L. Seven reliable acute dermal toxicity studies consistently showed no effects at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.
