Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): The tissues exposed for 3 minutes were held at room temperature during dosing, while the tissues exposed for the 60 minutes were
incubated at standard culture conditions (37°) until the completion of the exposure time.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: To: 8/27/12 - 8/29/2012
Type of coverage:
not specified
Preparation of test site:
other: EpiDerm Skin Model
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): Fifty µL of the test substance were applied directly on the tissue so as to cover the upper surface.
- Concentration (if solution): The test substance was tested neat.

Duration of treatment / exposure:
3 minutes and 60 minutes
Observation period:
End of exposure
Number of animals:
n/a
Details on study design:
The test substance was added to a 1.0 mg/mL MTT (Sigma) solution in warm Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) containing 2 mM L-glutamine (MTT Addition Medium) to assess its ability to directly reduce MTT. Approximately 50 µL of the test substance were added to 1 mL of the MTT solution, and the mixture was incubated at standard culture conditions for approximately one hour. A negative control, 50 µL of sterile, deionized water (Quality Biological), was tested concurrently. If the MTT solution color turned blue/purple, the test substance was presumed to have reduced the MTT.

Mean % Viability

 Concentration  Exposure Time  % Viability  * Corrosive?  pH
 Neat  3 minutes 23.9  Yes  4.0
 Neat  60 minutes  1.4  Yes  4.0

* - A material is considered corrosive if the percent viability is less than 50% at the 3 -minute exposure, or less than 15% at the 60 -minute exposure.

Interpretation of results:
corrosive

Conclusions:
Based upon the results of this assay, the test substance, Reaction product of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with Polyphosphoric Acid (PPA), was predicted to be corrosive to skin according to the prediction model validated by ECVAM. Accordingly, the test substance, Reaction product of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with Polyphosphoric Acid (PPA), would be labeled corrosive to skin within the Globally Harmonized System.
Executive summary:

The MatTek Corporation’s EpiDermTMreconstituted human epidermis model was used to assess the potential skin corrosivity of the test substance, Reaction product of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with Polyphosphoric Acid (PPA).The skin corrosivity potential of the testsubstancewas evaluated by measuring the relative cell viability in treated tissues after a 3- and 60-minute exposure to the testsubstance, following theprotocol that is consistent with the OECD Test Guideline 431 “In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Human Skin Model Test”. Based upon the results of this study, the test substance, Reaction product of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with Polyphosphoric Acid (PPA), is predicted to be a skin corrosive. Accordingly, the test substance,Reaction product of 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) with Polyphosphoric Acid (PPA), would be labeled corrosive to skin within the Globally Harmonized System.
