Irritant / corrosive response data:
At 24-hours reading very slight erythema with or without very slight oedema was seen at one intact and one abraded site. At 72-hour reading these reaction had resolved, and very slight erythema with or without very slight oedema was observed at another intact and abraded site.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: US CPSC / US FDA
Conclusions:
A single occlusive application of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate to intact and abraded rabbit skin for 24 hours elicited very slight dermal irritation, primary irritation index was calculated to 0.25, and only two out of six animals showed dermal reactions. the substance should therefore not be classified as
irritating.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was investigated on intact and abraded skin on rabbits. A single occlusive application for 24 hours elicited very slight dermal irritation, in two out of six animals. Primary irritation index was calculated to be 0.25. and 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate is therefore not a skin irritant. Hence, no classification is needed.
