Test material form:
liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Alkyl imidazoline is a UVCB material contininag structures which are very similar to the substance under test.
There are no studies for this substance and due to a ban on animal testing for such end points, it is necessry to try to find an alternative way of making an assessment using other substances that have been tested in-vivo in previous years.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Alkyl imidazoline, 1-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-2-alkyl*-2-imidazoline (*as in fatty acids of tall oil), has been tested in the following acute toxicity

tests. With Sprague-Dawley rats (MRID No. 42293001), alkyl imidazoline demonstrated an acute oral LD of 1948 (1259-2638) mg/kg body weight 50 for male rats, 1880 (1213-2546) mg/kg for female rats, and 1932 (1515 - 2349) mg/kg for combined sexes.

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Alkyl imidazoline is a UVCB material contininag structures which are very similar to the substance under test.
There are no studies for this substance and due to a ban on animal testing for such end points, it is necessry to try to find an alternative way of making an assessment using other substances that have been tested in-vivo in previous years.
