Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
whole body
Vehicle:
other: unchanged (no vehicle)
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
6 h
Concentrations:
Saturated air
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
A single static ihalation exposure to substantially saturated vapor for 6 hours. The vapor is produced by enclosing approximately 100g of the test material in a sealed 100 to 152 liter animal chamber for approximately 18 hours. A mixing fan periodically agitates the chamber atmosphere to aid in distribution of the vapor. Oxygen is added as need to maintain concentration at 20%.

Exp. duration:
6 h
Remarks on result:
other: No deaths or toxic effects from substantially saturated vapor.
Mortality:
None
Clinical signs:
other: None
Body weight:
No weight change fromtoxic effect
Gross pathology:
None

Any other information on results incl. tables

Substantially saturated vapor killed 0 of 5 male rats and 0 of 5 female rats after 6 hours of exposure.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate is practically nontoxic via inhalation of substantially saturated vapor.
Executive summary:

None of the 10 rats male and female exposed to vinyl 2 -ethylhexanoate had any deaths or observed toxic effects. Vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate is practically nontoxic via inhalation of substantially saturated vapor.
