London, J E; Smith, D M

The acute oral LD/sub 50/ values for the high-explosive formulation X-0298 for mice and rats is greater than 5 g/kg. According to classical guidelines, the mixture would be considered only slightly or practically nontoxic in both species. Skin application studies in the rabbit with X-0298 demonstrated that it was cutaneously nonirritating. This material was also nonirritating in rabbit eye application studies. The sensitization study in the guinea pig did not show X-0298 to be deleterious in this regard.
