Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Designation as given in study report: CD rats derived from Sprague-Dawley
- Source: Elevage Charles River France, Saint Aubin-lès-Elbeuf, France
- Age at study initiation: approx. 7 weeks
- Mean weight at study initiation: males, 163 g; females, 138 g
- Housing: in groups of 5 per sex and cage, in stainless steel cages
- Diet: UAR A 04 diet pellets (Société UAR, Epinay-sur-Orge, France), ad libitum, except for the night prior testing and during the first 3 to 4 hours following gavage.
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19 - 25
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Air changes (per hr): 14
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
The test article was administered unchanged; the application volume was 4.4 mL/kg bw, corresponding to a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw (density 1.14).
The control animals remained untreated but also were subjected to fasting as for the treated animals.
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
10
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: on the day of treatment, after 30 minutes,1, 2, 4 and 6 hours following gavage; thereafter, twice a day.
- Frequency of weighing: each animal was weighed prior test initiation and once weekly thereafter.
- Necropsy of animals that died: animals that died were weighed and subjected to necropsy as soon as possible.
- Necropsy of survivors: the survivors were sacrificed (CO2) at test endingfor purpose of necropsy, and were subjected to gross pathology.
Statistics:
Student's t-test was used for statistical evaluation of body weight data.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: No mortality occurred, and no clinical symptoms indicative of toxicity were seen.
Mortality:
All animals survived.
Clinical signs:
other: No symptoms of toxicity were observed.
Gross pathology:
In the stomach of all treated males (10/10) and of 7 treated females (7/10), fragments of polymerised test article were found.
No further abnormalities were noticed at necropsy in the treated and control animals.
