Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity: an experimental study equivalent to OECD Guideline 401 (1981). Sprague-Dawley rats were administered either 4000 or 5000 mg test item/kg bw (5 female and 5 male animals per dose) and monitored for mortality, clinical symptoms and body weight changes for 15 days, then subjected to gross pathological examination.

Acute dermal toxicity: an experimental study equivalent to OECD Guideline 402 (1981). 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats were administered a dermal application of 2000 mg test item/kg bw (500 mg test item/ml water) to a shaved, dorsal region for 24 hours then monitored for mortality, clinical symptoms and body weight changes for 15 days, and subjected to gross pathological examination.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Annex I: 3.1.2.1 of the CLP Regulation (EC No. 1272/2008), substances can be allocated to one of four hazard categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric criteria shown in the table below. Acute toxicity values are expressed as (approximate) LD50 (median lethan dose) values for exposure by the oral and dermal routes.

Table 1: Acute toxicity hazard categories defining the respective categories.

Exposure route   Danger Warning
Category 1 Category 2 Category 3 Category 4 No classification
Oral (mg/kg bw) LD50≤ 5 5 < LD50 ≤ 50  50 < LD50 ≤ 300 300 < LD50 ≤ 2000 LD50 > 2000

Dermal (mg/kg bw)

LD50 ≤ 50 50 < LD50 ≤ 200 200 < LD50 ≤ 1000 1000 < LD50 ≤ 2000 LD50 > 2000

According to the studies available, the test item cannot be classified as having an acute oral or dermal toxicity as the LD50 was above 2000 mg/kg bw for both oral and dermal acute exposure.
