Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity studies were conducted on four MDI category members; A mixture of: 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea; 3-cyclohexyl-1-(4-(4-(3-octadecylureido)benzyl) phenyl)urea; 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-530-2), 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-370-3), N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene) bis[N'-octyl]urea (EC 445-760-8), 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-690-3). The results from these studies showed no evidence of acute toxicity up to the highest dose tested in any study (2000 or 5000 mg/kg test item in either cellulose or corn oil). There is no evidence of a relevant intrinsic acute oral toxicity requiring classification or substance specific risk management measures.

  

Acute dermal toxicity limit studies were conducted on four MDI category members; A mixture of: 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea; 3-cyclohexyl-1-(4-(4-(3-octadecylureido)benzyl) phenyl)urea; 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-530-2), 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-370-3), N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene) bis[N'-octyl]urea (EC 445-760-8), 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (EC 406-690-3). The results from these studies showed no evidence of acute toxicity at the only dose tested in any study (2000 mg/kg test item). There is no evidence of a relevant intrinsic acute dermal toxicity requiring classification or substance specific risk management measures.

The LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg b.w., the only concentration tested. No deaths and no effects on organs were observed. A slower body weight gain or a slight decrease in body weight is noted in 2/5 females between days 1 and 8 and in 1/5 females between days 8 and 15. The body weight gain of other animals is similar to that of historical control animals. No local skin reaction was observed, however a white colouring of the skin, due to the substance, could mask a very slight erythema is noted in all the animals at day 2 only. The test item does not meet the GHS criteria and is not classified.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The oral and dermal LD50 values are greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in all studies conducted on the MDI category; therefore, the existing data supports the justification for non-classification.
