This executive summary provides an overview of the Wex-Cide Reports, focusing on the toxicity and irritation studies conducted on Wex-Cide 128, a phenolic disinfectant. The purpose of these studies was to determine the toxicity category and potential irritation effects of Wex-Cide 128 according to the guidelines established by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The findings indicate that Wex-Cide 128 falls under EPA Category IV, representing the least toxic potential. Here are the key findings from each study:
- Dermal Irritation Study:
- Tested on six rabbits using the Draize method.
- Results showed that Wex-Cide 128 is not a primary irritant.
- EPA toxicity indicator: Category IV (no irritation).
- Ocular Study:
- Conducted on six rabbits.
- No significant ocular irritation observed.
- EPA toxicity indicator: Category IV (no corneal involvement or irritation).
- Sensitizer Study:
- Guinea pig study indicated that Wex-Cide 128 is not a sensitizer.
- Acute Oral Toxicity Study:
- Tested on female rats.
- No mortality or significant weight loss observed.
- Acute oral LD50 of Wex-Cide 128 in female rats is greater than 5,000 mg/kg.
Overall, based on the results of these studies, Wex-Cide 128 demonstrates low toxicity and minimal irritation potential. It does not cause significant dermal or ocular irritation, nor does it induce sensitization. The EPA categorizes Wex-Cide 128 as Category IV, the least toxic category. These findings support the safe use of Wex-Cide 128 as a disinfectant
