9.1 Acute Toxicity 9.1.1 Acute Oral Toxicity 9.1.1.1 Acute Oral Toxicity of C12-C16 Alpha Olefin (Rinehart 1967) Test Substance: C12-C16 alpha Olefin (98.5% olefins, 1.5% saturates) Species/strain: Rat/Wistar Number/sex of animals: 10 males Observation period: 14 days Method of administration: Gavage 5 000 mg/kg or 10 000 mg/kg (dose volume of 2.65 – 3.50 mL/kg). Test method: US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act Clinical observations: A few days after dosing, animals had very coarse oily fur over the whole body, particularly severe in the hindquarter area. This observation persisted for the remainder of the observation period. Mortality: Two deaths observed in the 10 000 mg/kg dose; considered to be due to pneumonia. Morphological findings: Not reported LD50: > 5 000 mg/kg Result: C12-C16 Alpha Olefin was of very low acute oral toxicity in rats. 9.1.1.2 Acute Oral Toxicity of C16 Alpha Olefin (Rinehart 1967) Test Substance: C16 alpha Olefin (98.5% olefins, 1.5% saturates) Species/strain: Rat/Wistar Number/sex of animals: 10 males Observation period: 14 days Method of administration: Oral, gavage 5 000 mg/kg or 10 000 mg/kg (dose volume of 2.65 – 3.50 mL/kg). Test method: US Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act. FULL PUBLIC REPORT 26 April 2000 NA/713 Page 24 of 100

Clinical observations: A few days after dosing, animals had very coarse oily fur over the whole body, particularly severe in the hindquarter area; Animals developed a weakness in the hindquarters which caused them to drag around the cage. This observation persisted for the remainder of the observation period. Mortality: Nil Morphological findings: Not reported. LD50: > 5 000 mg/kg Result: C16 Alpha Olefin was of very low acute oral toxicity in rats. 9.1.1.3 Acute Oral Toxicity of C16 Isomerised Olefin (Hill Top Biolabs Inc 1993) Test Substance: C16 Isomerised Olefin Species/strain: Rat/Sprague Dawley Number/sex of animals: 5/sex Observation period: 14 days Method of administration: Oral, gavage 5 050 mg/kg (dose volume of 5.92 mL/kg) Test method: OECD TG 420 – fixed dose method Clinical observations: One female lost weight between Days 0 and 7 and one female failed to gain weight between days 7 and 14. Prominent in life observations included activity decrease piloerection and polyuria, which were no longer evident by Day 7. Alopecia was observed in all animals on Days 7 through 14. Mortality: Nil Morphological findings: No abnormalities detected. LD50: > 5 050 mg/kg Result: C16 Isomerised Olefin was of very low acute oral toxicity in rats.
