Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity)
Deviations:
not specified
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Penetration of rabbit skin is estimated by a technique closely akin to the one-day cuff method of Draize, using groups of four male albino New Zealand rabbits. The fur is removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose is retained beneath an impervious plastic film. The animals are immobilized during the 24-hour contact period, after which the film is removed, the rabbits are caged for the subsequent 14-day observation period and the LD50 is determined.
GLP compliance:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category III
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008)
