Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

- Acute oral toxicity: The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
- Acute inhalation and dermal toxicity: Based on lack of skin irritation and systemic effects in a skin irritation study the substance is not considered to acute harmful in contact with skin. Moreover, the substance is unlikely to form aerosols or particles of inhalable size. Therefore it is considered justifiable not to conduct these studies.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat. The method was designed to meet the requirements of OECD Guideline No 420 "Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method" and Method B1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral) of Commission Directive 2004/73/EC.

A dose level of 5000 mg/kg bodyweight resulted in no deaths, no signs of systemic toxicity, expected gains in bodyweight and no abnormalities at necropsy, in a total of 5 animals.

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Acute inhalation and dermal toxicity:

No studies conducted on the test substance. However, based on lack of skin irritation and systemic effects in a skin irritation study the substance is not considered to acute harmful in contact with skin. The substance is unlikely to form aerosols or particles of inhalable size and therefore it is considered justifiable not to conduct inhalation study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

On the basis of the available oral, inhalation and dermal data, the substance does not require classification for lethal effects following a single exposure according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC.

Since the substance is composed of aliphatic hydrocarbons and certain grades of product are of low viscosity (product specification kinematic viscosity 3.0 and 4.0 cSt at 100°C), these may present an aspiration hazard in humans following oral exposure. It is therefore appropriate to classify these products as Aspiration Toxicity Category 1 according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC.
