Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effect levels
Sex:
not specified
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
< 2.5 other: g/kg
Mortality:
Two animals died within 36 hours and two succumbed within 48 to 56 hours after percutaneous application.
Clinical signs:
other: No data
Gross pathology:
No significant abnormalities were noted at autopsy other than local reactions. These local skin reactions were, however, quite severe. The skin became
dry, wrinkled, and encrusted; necrosis had commenced prior to death.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The solvent (isopropanol) conceivably may have played an indirect role in promoting the absorption of the active ingredient through the skin, but it is unlikely that it directly affected the percutaneoas toxicity to any great extent. On the basis of active ingredient, the dose was 1. 68 g/kg. The dose of solvent (isopropanol) given was 0.82 g/kg. This latter value is considerably below the percutaneous LD50 for isopropanol (16. 4 ml/kg).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 was less than 2.5 g/kg
Executive summary:

The product tested was applied to the skin of rats for 24 hours at a dose of 2.5 g/kg. All animals dies within 48 to 56 hours. The dermal LD50 was less than 2.5 g/kg.
