Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
not specified
Doses:
The dosages were arranged in a logarithmic series differing by a factor of two.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
14-day post observation period
Statistics:
Based upon mortalities during a 14-day observation period, the most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range are estimated by the method of Thompson* using the tables of Weil**.

*Thompson, W. R.: Use of Moving Averages and Interpolation to Estimate Median Effective Dose. Bacteriol. Rev. 11: 115 (June 1947).
