Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Lactate esters are practically non-toxic by the oral and inhalation route.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Acute toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- Neither ethyl lactate nor ethylhexyllactate are acutely toxic by the oral route. Read-across to methyl lactate can be used to conclude that methyl lactate will not be acutely toxic either.
Acute toxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Value:
- 5 400 mg/m³ air
- Quality of whole database:
- Neither ethyl lactate nor ethylhexyllactate are acutely toxic by the inhalation route. Read-across to methyl lactate can be used to conclude that methyl lactate will not be acutely toxic either.
Acute toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion
- Value:
- mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- Lactate esters are practically non-toxic by the oral and inhalation route. No explicit information on acute dermal toxicity is required.
Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Lactate esters are practically non-toxic by the oral and inhalation route.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
