Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Species:

Strain:
New Zealand White
Sex:
male/female

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 mL/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: observations for toxicity and skin reactions were made at 1 hour, 7 days and 14 days after the contact period. Animal weights were recorded at 0 (before dose), 7 and 14 days (just prior to termination).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, macroscopical examination

Groups of 5 animals/sex (2-3 kg) were subjected to 24 hours of contact with the test item (1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 mL/kg bw) which was retained under impervious sheeting on the clipped, intact skin of the trunk. As necessary for larger doses, gauze was wrapped around the trunk over the sample to prevent leakage. Bandaging tape was wrapped over the impervious sheeting and the animal was returned to its cage for the contact period. Doses were varied by adjusting the volume of the test material. After the contact period, excess fluid was removed to diminish ingestion. At death or termination, each animal was subjected to a gross pathologic evaluation.
Statistics:
LD50 values and the estimated LD50 slopes were calculated by the moving average method (Thompson, 1947; Weil, 1983).

other: slope: 3.89
Mortality:
The mortality incidences were as follows:
4.0 mL/kg bw: 9/10 rabbits (5 males, 4 females; at 1-2 days)
2.0 mL/kg bw: 2/10 rabbts (1 male, 1 female; at 2 days, at 13 days)
1.0 mL/kg bw: 0/10 rabbits (0 male, 0 female; N/A)
Deaths occurred within two days, except for one female rabbit that died at 13 days.
Clinical signs:
other: MALES 4.0 mL/kg bw erythema, edema, necrosis, ecchymosis at 1 day; prostration in 1 animal at 1 day

lungs salmon-colored; trachea of 1 animal dark red; thymus of 1 animal mottled dark red; large intestines of 1 animal hemorrhaged

2.0 mL/kg bw
in deceased animal, lungs mottled salmon-colored and bright red; in survivors, lungs bright pink, salmon-colored or mottled bright pink to dark red

1.0 mL/kg bw

Any other information on results incl. tables

The LD50 value for males was 2.46 mL/kg bw (2504 mg/kg bw) with a 95 % confidence level of 1.79-3.39 mL/kg bw (1822-3451 mg/kg bw) and a slope of 5.60. The LD50 value for females was 2.83 mL/kg bw (2881 mg/kg bw) with a 95 % confidence level of 1.61 - 4.98 mL/kg bw (1639-5070 mg/kg bw) and a slope of 3.89.
