Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Acrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol
EC Number:
247-118-0
EC Name:
Acrylic acid, monoester with propane-1,2-diol
Cas Number:
25584-83-2
Molecular formula:
C6H10O3
IUPAC Name:
Reaction mass of 2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Hydroxypropyl acrylate
- Analytical purity: 95 %

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped (intact and abraded)
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hr
Observation period:
48 hr
Number of animals:
Six rabbits were treated on the intact skin, the other six on the abraded skin. (The abrasions were minor incisions through the stratum corneum,
but not sufficiently deep to disturb the derma or to produce bleeding.)
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 1 inch X 1 inch of the back
- Type of wrap if used: The patches were fixed to the application site by means of adhesive tape and the entire trunk of the rabbits was wrapped with an impervious material to maintain the test patches in position and to retard evaporation of volatile substances.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): no


SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system (Draize, J. Pharmacol. 82: 377 - 390, 1944)
Readings of skin reactions were performed at 24 (immediately after removal of the test patches) and 72 hrs after application.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The following dermal effects were observed:
After 24 hours, intact skin: haemorrhages and slight or moderate edema.
After 24 hours, abraded skin: haemorrhages and moderate or severe edema.
After 72 hours, intact skin: necrosis and very slight or slight edema.
After 72 hours, abraded skin: necrosis and slight edema.
After three to five weeks all wounds caused by the test compound had healed. On the new skin hair growth was decreased or absent.
