Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 - 3.5 kg

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on dermal exposure:
The fur of the male albino New Zealand rabbits was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose is retained beneath an impervious plastic film.
The animals were immobilized during the 24-hours contact period, after which the film is removed and the rabbits are caged for the subsequent 14-Day observation period.
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
no data
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4 males
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Statistics:
Based upon mortalities during a 14-day observation period, the most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range are estimated by the method of Thompson* using the tables of Weil**.

*Thompson, W. R.: Use of Moving Averages and Interpolation to Estimate Median Effective Dose. Bacteriol. Rev. 11: 115 (June 1947).
