Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Description (incidence and severity):
all females had viable foetuses (with or without treatment) and pre- and post-implantation loss as well as
numbers of resorption were not affected by treatment whatever the doses
Description (incidence and severity):
No lethality was observed on all pups

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Key result
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
1 000 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
Based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect level:
dead fetuses
number of abortions
total litter losses by resorption
