Description of key information

Acute toxicity (oral): the results of the 2 studies (OECD 401) are >4790 and >4986 mg/kg. The lowest is assigned as key value for the CSA.

Acute toxicity (dermal): the result of the study is >2000 mg/kg (OECD 402)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route
