Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

For oral toxicity, there is one study available done by BASF (2001) according to OECD Guideline 423. Three male and three female rats were treated orally by gavage with a single application of the test substance in aqua bidest at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw (application volume 10 ml/kg). The animals were observed for 14 days. All animals survived until the scheduled sacrifice. In the course of the study the animals did not show any clinical findings. Organs were without any findings at necropsy. Thus, under the present test conditions, the acute oral LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.
