- Details on dermal exposure:
- TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: The application area was shorn 24 hours before administration.
- Type of wrap if used: The application area was covered with a mull patch (7x5 cm), wrapped with an elastic bandage and fixed with Leukoflex for 24 hours.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 7 000 mg/kg bw
- Mortality:
- Mortalities were not observed.
- Clinical signs:
- other:
- Body weight:
- other body weight observations
- Remarks:
- Body weight gain was transiently decreased.
- Gross pathology:
- At necropsy 7 animals showed partial hyperemia of the small intestine mucosa and 3 animals strong hyperemia of the forestomach mucosa. Additionally for one animal partly thickening of the forestomach mucosa was noted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
An acute dermal toxicity study was conducted according to OECD TG 402 with 5 male and female rats per dose group. In that study the animals were once exposed for 24 hours to the undiluted test substance at a limit dose of 7000 mg/kg. The animals were observed for mortality, body weight gain and clinical signs for a period of 14 days. Gross necropsy was performed at termination of study.
Mortalities were not observed in the course of the study. Body weight gain was transiently decreased. The treated skin areas exhibited signs of irritation (erythema, oedema, scab formation). Gross necropsy findings, i.e. partial hyperemia of the small intestine mucosa, strong hyperemia of the forestomach mucosa and in one animal thickening of the forestomach mucosa also indicated irritant properties of the substance.
The LD50 was concluded to be > 7000 mg/kg bw.
