Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Food and water intake, general behaviour and mortality were not affected by treatment. Growth was reduced only in male rats administered 2500 ppm.

Up to 2500 ppm, no damage to blood or organs have been observed.

No liver effects have been observed in clinic, anatomy, pathology and histopathology studies up to 2500 ppm.

 No kidney effects have been observed in blood and urine analysis, and histopathological studies.

Glucose and cholesterol concentrations in plasma and sodium, potassium, calcium, inorganic phosphate and chlorine products in serum were in the normal range in all dose groups.

Pathology and anatomy analysis revealed no other damage to other organs related to the test item.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Concentrations of 100 and 500 ppm were therefore well tolerated by males, while concentrations up to 2500 ppm were tolerate without negative effects by female rats.
