Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Practically non-toxic
Executive summary:

In a GLP acute toxicity limit study to a US protocol, a similar substance (a hydrogenated decene oligomer of weight average molecular weight 552) was found to have an LD50 greater than the maximum dose tested (5g/kg.) There was no evidence of other significant non-lethal toxic effects occurring. It was not possible to assess if there was any adverse impact on body weight gain as no concurrent control was used.

Synopsis:

LD50 > 5000mg/kg
