Additional information

No studies were conducted on the target substance, zirconium tetrapropanolate. As the target substance hydrolyses rapidly (half-life < 5 minutes) the intrinsic properties are related to hydrolysis products of the target substance, 1 -propanol.

Oral

In a limited repeated dose study, male rats were administered a nominal dose of 3000 mg/kg 1-proapnol for 4 months. Investigated parameters were restricted to body weight, food- and water consumption and alcohol uptake as well as liver weight and histology. Neither inflammation nor cirrhosis was seen in any of the livers. Thus, the dose of 3000 mg/kg bw/day is considered as NOAEL. (Hillbom et al. 1974)

 

Inhalation

Rats were exposed to 246, 1260 and 2460 mg/m3 for 6 hours/day 5 resp. 4 days/week up to 2 weeks (9 exposure days). No mortalities occur during this study. Exposure-related clinical observations were limited to slightly swollen periocular tissue, and minimal perinasal and periocular encrustations in the 1000 ppm exposure concentration group (Bushy Run 1992). A NOAEC of 500 ppm (1230 mg/m3) for irritative effects can be derived from limited studies described.

Dermal

There is no available studies on repeated dermal effects.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the NOAEL (oral) and NOAEC (inhalation) 1 -propanol, there is no need for classification of the target substance in accordance with the criteria of CLP Regulation.
