Description of key information
2-propylheptyl acrylate is practically nontoxic after a single ingestion. The structural analogue 2-ethylhexyl acrylate is virtually nontoxic after a single skin contact. The inhalation of a highly saturated vapour-air-mixture of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (read across substance) represents an unlikely acute hazard.
Oral: LD50 rat > 2000 mg/kg bw (OECD TG 423, Austrian Research Centre, 2008)
Dermal: LD50 rabbit: ca. 7522 mg/kg bw (read across to CAS No 103-11-7; Mellon Institute for Industrial Research, 1950 )
Inhalative: LC0 rat = 1.19 mg/L (nominal, saturated vapour, 8 h) ( read across to CAS No 103-11-7; OECD403, BASF AG 1958)

This test (also called inhalation hazard test) was performed in principle as described in OECD Guideline 403. It demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapors of the volatile components of a test substance at the temperature chosen for vapor generation (20 °C and 1002.6 hPa).
Several groups of 3 rats per sex were exposed sequentially to the vapors, generated by bubbling 200 L/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder containing approximately 120 mL test substance for 8 hours. Compressed air without further filtering was used in order to generate the test substance atmosphere. No analytical determination of the atmosphere concentrations was performed. The nominal concentration was calculated as quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss during the exposure, which was given in the raw data, and the amount of air used during the exposure. Group-wise documentation of clinical signs was performed over the 14-day study period. Body weight of groups was determined before the start of the study and at the end of the observation period in the surviving animals. The clinical signs and findings were reported in summarized form. The study allows for an estimate of the length of time required to cause severe toxic effects resulting from exposure to an atmosphere saturated with volatile components of the test substance. - GLP compliance:

- Details on study design:
- The vapour saturation was calculated based on the vapour pressure at 25 °C and the molecular weight.
Vapour saturation = 1.82 mg/L at 25 °C.
The assumed vapour saturation at the test temperature of 20 °C would be slightly lower than the calculated value but still greater than 1 mg/L. Thus, it can be safely concluded that the animals in the present study were indeed exposed to test substance vapours and no aerosol. - Sex:

- Test conditions and method according to Smyth HF Jr. and Carpenter CP (1948):
Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by a technique closely akin to the one-day cuff method of Draize et al. (1944) using groups of at least 6 rabbits. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an impervious plastic film. Dosages greater than 20 mL/kg bw could not be retained in contact with the skin. The animals were immobilized during the 24-hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14-day observation period. In this study, 8 rabbits were dosed by introduction of the undiluted test substance under impervious "Vinylite" sheeting which covered their clipped trunks. The LD50 value was determined by Thompson's method. - Statistics:
- The LD50 value was determined by Thompson's method.
- Sex:
- not specified
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 7 522 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Original value: LD50 = 8.480 mL/kg
Based on a densitiy of 0.887 g/mL, LD50 = 7522 mg/kg bw.
3 of 4 rats died at 10 ml/kg and none at 5 ml/kg
3/4 animals succumbed to a dosage of 10 mL/kg bw (= 8870 mg/kg bw), and 4/4 survived 5.0 mL/kg bw (= 4435 mg/kg bw). The estimated LD50 calculated by Thompson's method after assuming 100 % mortality at 20 mL/kg and 100 % survival at 2.52 mL/kg bw was 8.48 mL/kg bw. - Clinical signs:
- no data
- Body weight:

Additional information
Oral exposure route:
In the key study conducted by BASF SE (2008) two groups of 3 female Wistar rats were successively administered a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw and were observed for 14 days for lethality and clinical signs of intoxication. No mortalities occurred at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, based on the specifications of OECD TG No. 423 the LD50 was estimated to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. Neither clinical symptoms nor abnormalities after necropsy have been observed. Based on these test results (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw), 2-propylheptyl acrylate is assessed to be practically nontoxic after a single ingestion. No classification and labelling according to Annex VI of Directive 67/548/EEC and according to REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 is proposed.
Dermal exposure route:
In a study performed with the structural analogue 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate 8 rabbits/sex/dose were exposed (occlusive) to 4435 and 8870 mg/kg bw 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate for 24 h. 4/4 animals survived after given the low dose of 4435 mg/kg bw, while 3/4 animals died after given 8870 mg/kg bw 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate (Union Carbide Corporation, 1950). The estimated LD50 was 7522 mg/kg bw. In a supporting study (report from a publication of Carpenter et al., 1974), 4 white male rabbits/sex/dose were exposed (occlusive) to 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate for 24 h. The estimated LD50 was 14192 mg/kg bw. No further information was given in both studies regarding clinical signs, body weight, and necropsy findings. The substance is considered to be nontoxic after a single skin contact.
Inhalation exposure route:
In the key study (BASF AG, 1958) an Inhalation hazard test was performed in rats. Three male and three female rats were exposed (whole-body) to the structural analogue 2-Ethylhexyl acrylate vapours (20°C) at a nominal concentration of 1.19 mg/L (no analytical monitoring of the test atmosphere concentration but saturated atmosphere) for 8 hours. No mortality was observed, thus deducing an LC0 of 1.19 mg/L air. No clinical signs or other abnormalities were observed. No necropsy was performed. Based on the LC0 and the absence of clinical signs, indicating a possible effect on the respiratory tract, the inhalation of a highly saturated vapour-air mixture represents an unlikely acute hazard.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
GLP and guideline compliant study
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
GLP and guideline compliant study with acceptable deviations
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the acute toxicity studies, the test substance does not need to be classified and labelled according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
