Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The LD50 via the dermal route appeared to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A sample of polyethylenepolyamine neutralized, reference 30339-23-485, was submitted to the Acute Toxicology Laboratory of Health & Environmental Sciences-Texas for evaluation of acute percutaneous absorption and eye irritation potential. The test material, a reaction product of E-100, EDC,5 EPI/DETAand NaOH,also known as PAPA+1 (neutralized), was submitted by Chlor-Nitrogen Research.

 

Acute percutaneous absorption and eye Irritation tests were conducted using female Zealand albino rabbits (Ray Nichols Rabbitry).

  

The acute percutaneous absorption potential is low; range-finding tests indicate the LD50 is>2000 mg/kg. Two female rabbits were treated with 2000 mg/kg of the test material in an acute percutaneous absorption test. After treatment, the rabbits appeared restless and had slight tremors. However, both recovered, appeared healthy and gained weight during the 2-week observation period.
