Executive summary:

Introduction. Acute dermal toxicity of the test material was determined according to the Federal Substance Hazardous Act (FHSA) test guideline 16 CFR 1500.40 on acute dermal toxicity.

Methods. Pure test material was tested at a unique dose level of 5 g/kg in occlusive conditions for 24 hours on abraded skin in a group of ten New Zealand white albino rabbits. Animals were observed for 14 days for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweight changes. A necropsy was performed on all animals at the end of the study.

Results and conclusions. Diarrhea was observed in four animals on day 1 and one animal died on day 3. The harsh skin test conditions used in that test (48h exposure on abraded skin, occlusive conditions) lead to local skin irritation in some animals. No clinical signs were otherwise observed, expected bodyweight gains were monitored at the end of the study and no abnormalities were noted during the necropsy.

The LD50 was therefore determined to greater than 5000 mg/kg and the test material is classified as non toxic according to FHSA criteria for acute dermal toxicity.
