Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
water
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: trunk
- % coverage: ≥ 10%
- Type of wrap if used: Surgical gauze (two layers thick) was applied to the trunk of the animal and held in place with a non-irritating adhesive tape to keep the test matzrial in contact with the skin of the exposure area. The entire trunk of each animal was then wrapped with a semi-permeable material (Tomac Tubular Stockinette). The semi-permeable wrappings were secured in place with a non-irritating adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The wrappings, tape, and gauze were removed from the animals and the exposure areas were gently washed with room temperature tap water to remove as much remaining test material as possible.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 1.92 ml/kg
- Concentration (if solution): 8% w/v
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: not applicable
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2020 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations for pharmacologic and/or toxicologic effects and mortality were made at 1/2, 3, and 6 hours after treatment and at least once daily thereafter for fourteen days (day of treatment considered Day 0). Individual body weights were recorded on Days 0, 7, and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: -

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD-50 for actual KETJENSEPT TC as indicated by the data is greater than 2020 mg/kg (1.92 ml/kg) when applied as a 8.00% w/v concentration in deionized water to the intact skin of albino rabbits. Calculated back to the pure test material the LD50 for the active ingredient is > 153.6 mg/kg bw . Therefore this study is not suitable for classification purposes but does give an indication of the LD50.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was conducted on male and female albino rabbits using test material KETJENSEPT TC 500 gram (hereafter referred to as KETJENSEPT TC). The test material was administered as a 8.00% w/v concentration in deionized water. This study was designed and performed in STILLMEADOW, Inc.'s AAALAC accredited laboratory under Pesticide Assessment Guidelines promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA Publication 540/9-82-025) and was in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice Standards (Fed. Reg. 48, 53946, 1983).

Five male and five female albino rabbits were selected for testing. The exposure areas were treated with 2020 mg/kg of test material (1.92 ml/kg of a 8.00% w/v concentration of the test material in deionized water) and were then occluded for twenty-four hours. No animals treated with KETJENSEPT TC died during the study. The acute dermal LD-50 for actual KETJENSEPT TC as indicated by the data is greater than 2020 mg/kg (1.92 ml/kg) when applied as a 8.00% w/v concentration in deionized water to the intact skin of albino rabbits. Calculated back to the pure test material the LD50 for the active ingredient is > 153.6 mg/kg bw .

Therefore this study is not suitable for classification purposes but does give an indication of the LD50.
