Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 5 mL/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: approx. 4550 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
10 ml/kg bw: 4/4
5 ml/kg bw: 1 (abraded)/4
2.5 ml/kg bw: 0/4
1.25 ml/kg bw: 0/4
Clinical signs:
other: 10 ml/kg bw: ataxia and lacrimation in 2 females 5 ml/kg bw: ataxia in 3 rabbits 2.5 ml/kg bw: ataxia in 1 unabraded female 1.25 ml/kg bw: no effects
Gross pathology:
Stomach hyperemia, post mortem change, dehydration and hemorrhage (dermis, epidermis)

Any other information on results incl. tables

Data on the LD50 are inconsistent in the study report. The LD50 has been reported to be approx. 3 ml/kg, which is incosistent with the mortality findings observed, i.e. mortality in 1/2 abraded rabbits in the 5 ml/kg dose group.
