Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
17 Dec - 31 Dec 1996
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP-guideline study tested, with the source substance Kaolin, clay. According to the ECHA guidance document “Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)”, the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Ace Animals, Inc., Boyertown, PA
- Age at study initiation: young adult
- Weight at study initiation: males 202 - 221 g, females 165 - 180 g
- Fasting period before study: 19 hours
- Housing:stainless steel cages, mesh floor, litter paper, cages are conform to the size recommendations in the guide for the Care and Use of laboratory Animals DHEW (NIH) No. 86.23
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Purina Rodent Chow No. 5012
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum filtered tap water (by an automatic water dispensing system)
- Acclimation period: 7 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°F): 68 -73 °F
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 22.8 °C
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE: distilled water
- Concentration in vehicle: 36% w/w suspension
- Justification for choice of vehicle: preliminary solubility test (suspensions in excess of 36% were too viscous to be administered properly)

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.4 mL

DOSAGE PREPARATION: calculated based on the initial bodyweights, taking into account the specific gravity and concentration of the test suspension

Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and behavioral changes at 1 and 3 hours post-dosing and at least once daily thereafter for 14 days.
Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to test substance administration and again on days 7 and 14 (termination).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross necropsy (tissues and organs of the thoracic and abdominal cavities)

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All animals survived.
Clinical signs:
other: All animals appeared active and healthy after administration of 5000 mg/kg bw test substance during the 14 day observation period. There were no signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior.
Gross pathology:
Gross necropsy findings at terminal sacrifice were generally unremarkable. Apart from red lung discoloration consistent with euthanasia via CO2 inhalation, all tissues and organs appeared normal.
