Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Acute toxicity via oral route were determined as > 2000 mg/kg bw (Bayer study)  and > 5000 mg/kg bw (Dow study). The acute toxicity via the dermal route of exposure was > 5000 mg/kg bw.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD Guideline 401, 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats were exposed to 2000 mg/kg bw. No clicinal signs were observed, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw (Bayer, 1995).

In an acute oral toxicity study according to Federal register, august 22, 1978, 43:37355-6, male and femal Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 0, 650, 1250, 2500, 5000 mg/kg bw (6 animals per sex per dose). No clinical signs were observed, resulting in a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw (Dow, 1982).

In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD Guideline 434, 4 male and 4 female New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to 5000 mg/kg bw. No clinical signs were observed, resulting in a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw (Dow, 1982).

Justification for classification or non-classification

LD50 values for oral (> 2000 mg/kg bw or >5000 mg/kg bw) and dermal route (>5000 mg/kg bw) do not warrant classification according to the relavent criteria in the EU.
