Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the results of testing, the single dose Acute Dermal Toxicity LD50 of the test substance is greater than 2000 mg/kg of bodyweight when applied as received.

Executive summary:

An Acute Dermal Toxicity test was conducted with rats to determine the potential for the test item to produce toxicity after topical application.Two thousand milligrams of the test substance per kilogram of bodyweight was applied to the skin of ten healthy rats for 24 hours.The animals were observed for signs of gross toxicity and mortality at least once daily for 14 days. Bodyweights were recorded just prior to application and again on days 7 and 14 (termination). Necropsies were performed on all animals al terminal sacrifice.

All animals survived and gained weight. One female exhibited alopecia from day 4 through 9. All other animals appeared active and healthy. Apart from the dermal irritation noted at the dose site of all animals, there were no other signs of gross toxicity, adverse pharmacologic effects or abnormal behavior. Gross necropsy findings at terminal sacrifice were generally unremarkable.

Based on the results of testing, the single dose Acute Dermal Toxicity LD50 of the test substance is greater than 2000 mg/kg of bodyweight when applied as received.
