Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
TDI-Urone is considered to be practically nontoxic when dermally applied in a single dose. The LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. As none of the animals died the LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study groups of 8-12 week old Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to TDI-Urone (97.5%) moistened with water for 24 hours to 10% of the body surface area at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days.

The dermal LD50 (combined) was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. As none of the animals died the LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, TDI-Urone is considered as practically non-toxic when applied dermally in a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.
