Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In the clinical picture, breathing disturbances similar to those that occur in acute inhalation poisoning are observed. In individual animals the motor activity is intensified immediately after administration of the substance, although the animals display less movement and motor activity more often. Varying degrees of haemorrhaging and necrosis in the mucous membranes of the stomach, dystrophic changes in the liver, kidneys and brain were detected in macro-and micro-investigations of organ of dead rats.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

In an acute oral toxicity study in rats, LD0, LD10 and LD100 values of 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw were obtained, respectively. Thus, based on these results a LD50 value between 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw was determined (500 mg/kg bw < LD50 < 1000 mg/kg bw).

Acute inhalation toxicity

Rats and mice were exposed for 2 hours to vapors of the test substance. LC50 values of 13.5 mg/L and 10 mg/L were obtained, respectively. Although limited data were available, the lower study result was considered for C & L determination as worst-case for safety reasons.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008:

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) 1272/2008. As a result the substance is considered to be classified as Acute Tox. 4; H302 and Acute Tox. 4 H332 under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation EC 2017/776.
