Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test results
Toxicity:
yes
Remarks:
Doses producing toxicity: The dose used (2000 mg/kg) produced signs of lethargy, prostation, unsteady gait, piloerection, tremors and eye closure. Total of 9 animals of 30 died or were killed in extremis prior to the scheduled sampling rates.
Additional information on results:
Observations:
Mice treated with test substance had PCE/NCE
(polychromatic/normochromatic) ratios similar to those
treated with vehicle only. Group mean frequencies of
micronucleated PCE were also similar to those seen in
negative control groups and were not significantly different
by X2 analysis.
