Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Dermal LD50 > 20 g/kg bw
Executive summary:

A single application of TBPA Diol, 20 g/kg, was applied to the clipped intact or lightly abraded back and flank skin of two male and two female New Zealand albino rabbits. The test site was wrapped with an airtight occlusive wrap for the 24-hour exposure period. The rabbits were observed at 24 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Body weights were recorded initially and at 7 and 14 days post dosing. None of the rabbits died and all appeared normal during the observation period. The LD50 dermal was > 20 g/kg.
