- Conclusions:
- [2-(Perfluorohexyl)ethyl]triethoxysilane has been tested in an acute oral toxicity study conducted according to OECD 423 and in compliance with GLP. The undiluted test substance was administered by gavage to a group of 3 male and 3 female rats. The rats were dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw. There were no deaths and no signs of systemic reaction to treatment. All animals achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study. The LD50 was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw.
