Additional information
The acute toxicity of Reaction Products of C4 alcohols and C4 alkenes obtained as by-products from the manufacturing of butan-2-ol by sulfuric acid esterification and hydrolysis of butene was investigated in an acute inhalation toxicity study and an acute dermal toxicity study.
No deaths occurred in a group of six rats exposed to a mean achieved atmosphere concentration of 18.3 mg/L for four hours. It was therefore considered that the acute inhalation median lethal concentration (4 hr LC50) of Reaction Products of C4 alcohols and C4 alkenes obtained as by-products from the manufacturing of butan-2-ol by sulfuric acid esterification and hydrolysis of butene, in the HsdHanTM : WIST strain rat, was greater than 18.3 mg/L.
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Altogether the acute toxicity data show that Reaction Products of C4 alcohols and C4 alkenes obtained as by-products from the manufacturing of butan-2-ol by sulfuric acid esterification and hydrolysis of butene is of low acute toxicity and does not require classification for this endpoint.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Acute Toxicity: The substance does not meet the criteria for classification and labelling for this endpoint, as set out in Regulation (EC) NO. 1272/2008.
Specific target organ, Neurotoxicity: According to CLP classification criteria, the substance does meet the criteria for classification and labelling for this endpoint (STOT single exposure category 3, H336 - May cause drowsiness or dizziness), as set out in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
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).
