Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results:
CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY: No differences compared to negative controls were observed.
- after one year: 2 male and 0 female of 100 animals died in the control group; at 100 ppm 1/50 males and 1/50 females died; at 1000ppm 3/50 males and 0/50 females and at 10000ppm 0/50 males and 0/50 females died
- after two years: in the control group 37/100 males and 25/100 females died; at 100 ppm 23/50 males and 17/50 females died; at 1000ppm 25/50 males and 14/50 females died and at 10000ppm 16/50 males and 17/50 females died

BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN: comparable in all groups

FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study): normal in all groups

HAEMATOLOGY: No substance-related changes in any parameter were observed.

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: after 1 month: increase in GOT and GPT at 10000 ppm (males), increase in GPT at 1000 and 10000 ppm (females); no dose-dependent changes in any parameter after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months treatment.

URINALYSIS: normal in all groups

ORGAN WEIGHTS: significant increase of kidey weight in males and females at 10000 ppm, as the difference is < 10%, it is not considered toxicologically relevant; the other changes in organ weight (liver, lung, heart, and testes) were considered not to be treatment-related as no dose-relationship was observed.

GROSS PATHOLOGY: no abnormalities detected

HISTOPATHOLOGY: no abnormalities detected; only findings that are age-related and common for this strain were observed

OTHER: From type, localisation and frequency of observed tumors there is no indication for cancerogenic effect of the test substance
