Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
Hartley
Sex:
male

Study design: in vivo (non-LLNA)

Induction
Concentration / amount:
0.4 ml of a 10% or 25% solution of glycidyl methacrylate in dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME).
Challenge
Concentration / amount:
0.4 ml of a 10% or 25% solution of glycidyl methacrylate in dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME).
Details on study design:
10 animals received three topical applications on the left side with 0.4 ml of 10 or 25 % glycidyl methacrylate in dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether (DPGME) during the three week induction phase. The animals with slight erythema on the dermal test site after the second application received the third application at lower concentration. The applications were removed after a six-hour exposure period. After a two-week rest period, the single challenge application was conducted to the right side of the animals in the same manner as the induction applications. The animals with slight erythema on the dermal test site after the third induction exposure received a 1 % solution of glycidyl methacrylate in DPGME. As positive control (10 animals), DER 331 epoxy resin in DPGME was used.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
DER 331 epoxy resin
