Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
- One of the three rabbits in the intact skin group died 8 days after application
Clinical signs:
other: - back of each rabbit was severely rugose, dessicated, edematose (Draize Grade 4), and erythematous (Draize Grade 4), and focal exudation was apparent (not altered by washing the excess compound from the back) - the damaged skin began to slough off (skin
Gross pathology:
no effects observed

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal (LD50) study in the rabbit showed that the LD50 of the test substance is greater than 2 g/kg on both intact and abraded skin.
