Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
There were neither premature deaths nor substance-related deaths
Changes in behavior or in food consumption and
Weight development of the treated animals. All
treated animals had blue discolored faeces. In the high
dose group also included limbs, eyes, and perineal
Region, skin and tail sections discolored blue. This finding
proved in the tendency (eyes, skin and tail areas)
as reversible.
Laboratory findings:
There were no haematological or clinical-chemical results
toxicologically relevant changes.
Effects in organs:
At autopsy, all treated animals showed
Blue discoloration of the internal organs such as the gastrointestinal tract,
Kidneys, testes, eyeballs, thymus, pancreas and lymph nodes.
The histological examination revealed the kidneys of the animals
blue pigment build-up in the high dose group
Tubular epithelia. Similar findings were found histologically
in a weakened form at the end of the
Follow-up time. The macroscopic organ staining
had largely receded. Because of missing pathological significance
these findings were not considered to be toxicologically relevant.
