Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LC50
Effect level:
> 5.1 mg/L air (analytical)
Exp. duration:
4 h
Mortality:
None
Clinical signs:
other: Reversible and consistent with the use of restraint for exposure to the test atmosphere. Hunched position, chromodacryorrhea, piloerection, stains around the nose and wet fur.
Body weight:
Body weight gain was within normal limits.
Gross pathology:
No treatment related gross pathological findings.
Other findings:
- Organ weights: Lung weight was within normal limits.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Bodiweight, bodyweight gain and lung weights for all treated animals were within normal limits and there were no gross pathological findings. In general, animals showed rapid recovery from effects seen.

The medium lethal concentration in the rat is considered to be in exess of 5.1 mg/l
