Executive summary:

A group of five male and five female Wistar rats was treated with Vinyl laurate at 2000 mg/kg by single dermal application according to OECD Guideline 402 with a 14 days observation period. One animal died during the first day after application. Only slight signs of toxicity were not observed in the surviving animals like flat/hunched posture, piloerection Diarrhea, chromodacryorrhoea (snout) and/or ptosis. The animals recovered from the symptoms between day 2 and 4 of the study. Scales and scrabs were seen in the treated skin area of several animals during the observation period. The body weight of the animals was within the range of physiological variability known for rats of this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy of the animals. The LD50 (dermal, rat) was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
