Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The LD50 was determined by a method closely akin to the one-day cuff method of Draize et al. (1944) using groups of 4 male albino New Zealand rabbits. The fur was removed by clipping and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film (i.e. occlusive). The animals were immobilized/exposed for 24 hours. Afterwards, the film was removed and the animals were observed for 14 days.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
standard acute method
