Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) was determined to be above 4.7 mL/kg bw (i.e. 5170 mg/kg bw) in rabbits. Therefore no classification is required according to the EU CLP criteria.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) in rabbits.

Sixteen albino rabbits were prepared by careful removal of the hair with electric clippers. Planned areas of application were identified and in half of the animals the area was lightly abraded. After weighing the animal, the calculated dose was applied and the entire area covered with a rubber dam, held in place by tape. The dose levels applied were 0.315, 0.795, 1.99 and 5.0 mL/kg bw the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA).

Four animals were included in each dose group. 24 h later, the binders were removed and an effort made to remove any remaining material from the skin surface. A score of the local effects, according to the method of Draize, was recorded. The animals were observed repeatedly for seven days at the end of which time they were killed and necropsy was performed.

One mortality was observed at dose levels 1.99 and 5.0 mL/kg bw. In some cases, the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA)

caused no erythema or edema, but in others caused severe effects.

In conclusion, the single dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) was determined to be above 4.7 mL/kg bw (i.e. 5170 mg/kg bw) in rabbits.
