Description of key information

2-Acetone polymer with phenol (PBA-Tars) was assessed by two in vitro methods for skin corrosion/irritation potential.  

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Eye irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Additional information

BPA-Tars was shown to be a category 2 skin irritant based on the outcome of an EU Test Method B.46 as amended "In vitro Skin Irritation" study conducted with GLP compliance. This finding was supported by results from an acute dermal rat toxicity study also demonstrating evidence of skin irritation. Based on results from an eye irritation study conducted with the structural analog Bisphenol A, BPA-Tars is considered to be an eye irritant.


Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of an EU Test Method B. 46 "In vitro Skin Irritation" study BPA-Tars is a category 2 skin irritant.
