Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study 10 rats per dose group were dermally exposed to 20- and 10-% solutions of Methacrylamide in 60% ethanol, (96 %, denatured with 2 % Benzene) 20 % Propanol and 20 % water for 4 hours to 10 % of body surface area. No mortality occured. Only temporary apathie just like the control group with the vehicle was observed.
Dermal LD0 > 1600 mg/kg
Methacrylamide is of low toxicity
