Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
act. ingr.
Remarks on result:
other: No mortality was observed
Mortality:
No mortality
Clinical signs:
other: The test substance did not induce any clinical-toxicological symptoms. Slight to moderate erythema and mainly moderate edema were observed at the treatment sites up to day 3 which resolved afterwards.
Gross pathology:
Necropsies performed on all animales at termination exhibited no gross pathological findings.
Other findings:
- Organ weights: None
- Histopathology: None
- Potential target organs: None
- Other observations: None

Any other information on results incl. tables

Skin assessments made at 24 hrs, 3, 7 and 14 days revealed that 2 mg/kg MDEA-Esterquat produced moderate skin irritation. Slight (3/6 rabbits) to moderate (3/6 rabbits) erythema and moderate edema at the 24 hour reading; slight (5/6 rabbits) to moderate (1/6 rabbits) erythema and slight (3/6 rabbits) to moderate (3/6 rabbits) at day 3. These skin responses resolved at day 7. No atonia, desquamation, fissuring, eschar or exfloliation was observed in the animals in this study.

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category V
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd. is practically non - toxic.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (comparable to OECD guideline 402), groups of 3 male and female New Zeeland White rabbits were dermally exposed to MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd.  (40 % a.i) in oleum arachidis for 24 hours to10 x 15 cm of body surface area at doses of 2000 mg/kg bw.  Animals then were observed for14 days.

 

Dermal LD50              Males              > 2000 mg/kg bw

                                  Females          > 2000 mg/kg bw

                                  Combined      > 2000 mg/kg bw

 

No mortality occurred in this limit test.

 

MDEA-Esterquat C16-18 and C18 unsatd.  is practically non – toxic in this study.

There were no treatment related clinical signs, necropsy findings or changes in body weight.

 

Slight (1) to moderate (2) erythema and mainly moderate (2) edema with partly decreased intensity were observed at the treatment sites from 24 hours up to the 72 hours after treatment and were fully reversible within 7 days. The mean score were 1.3 for erythema and 1.75 for edema (after 24 and 72 hours). The applied scores of 1 and 2 for erythema and edema were comparable to the scores of the Draize method.
