Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information
This substance does not show any evidence of toxicity via the oral route of exposure in animals when tested in accordance with OECD Guideline 401. The rat oral LD50 is 3100 mg/kg in male rats. Sublethal effects of depression, diarrhea, and reduced food intake were observed. Necropsy observations included reduction of body fat, no specific organ toxicity is evident.
This substance does not show any evidence of toxicity via the dermal route of exposure in animals when tested in accordance with OECD Guideline 402. The rat dermal LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg in male rabbits. Severe erythema and edema noted at 24 hours. Necrotic-appearing areas of lung tissue observed in five rabbits. Further histology of the lungs revealed confluent bronchopneumonia or chronic interstitial pneumonia.
Integrated testing strategies for acute toxicity state that determination of the most likely route of exposure needs to take into account not only how the substance is manufactured and handled, including engineering controls and risk management measures, but also the physicochemical properties of the substance. The test material has very low volatility. The vapour pressure has been determined to be 4.2x10-4Pa at 25oC, thus there is minimal potential for any inhalation of gases or vapors. ECHA guidance states that for the inhalation route no testing is required if the vapor pressure is very low (< 0.1 Pa at 20oC) (see ECHA Guidance R.7 as well as OECD GD 39). Therefore inhalative acute toxicity is of no relevance.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance to Directive 67/548/EEC and EU CLP (Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008), classification of this substance is not required for acute toxicity.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
