- Number of washing steps: After the exposure period, the tissues were washed with phosphate buffered saline (Invitrogen Corporation, Breda, The Netherlands) to remove residual test item. The skin inserts were carefully dried.
DYE BINDING METHOD
- Dye used in the dye-binding assay: MTT
- Wavelength: 570 nm
NUMBER OF INDEPENDENT TESTING RUNS / EXPERIMENTS TO DERIVE FINAL PREDICTION: 4 per test item / 2 per control
PREDICTION MODEL / DECISION CRITERIA (choose relevant statement)
- The test substance is considered to be corrosive to skin if the relevant mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute tretment compared to the negative control tissues is decreased by below 50%. In addition, a test item considered nn-corosive (viability >=50%) after the 3-minute treatment is considered corrosive if the relative tissue viability after 1-hour treatment with the test item is decreased below 15.
- The test substance is considered to be non-corrosive to skin if the relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute treatment compared to the negative control tissues is not decreased below 50%. In addition, the relative tissue viabilty after the 1-hour treatment is not decreased below 15%.

RESULTS

2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl methacrylate was checked for color interference in aqueous conditions and possible direct MTT reduction by adding the test item to MTT medium. Because the solutions did not turn blue / purple nor a blue / purple precipitate was observed it was concluded that the test item did not interfere with the MTT endpoint. 

The mean absorption at 570 nm measured after treatment with the test item and controls are presented inAppendix 1, Table1. The individual OD₅₇₀ measurements are presented in table 1.

Table 2 shows the mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues. Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after the 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 101% and 90% respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was not below 50% after 3 minutes treatment and not below 15% after 1 hour treatment the test item is considered to be not corrosive.

The absolute mean OD₅₇₀ (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues waswithin the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit<=2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range. The mean relative tissue viability following the 1-hour exposure to the positive control was 7.7%. 

In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was < 8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Conclusions:

In conclusion, 2,2,2 -trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl methacrylate is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.

Executive summary:

The objective of this study was to evaluate 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl methacrylate for its ability to induce skin corrosion onon a human three dimensional epidermal model (EpiDerm (EPI-200)). The possible corrosive potential of the test item was tested through topical application for 3 minutes and 1 hour.

The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD and EC guidelines.

Batch 449935-248 of the test item was a clear colourless liquid. The test item was applied undiluted (50 µl) directly on top of the skin tissue. 

The positive control had a mean relative tissue viability of 7.7% after the 1-hour exposure. The absolute mean OD₅₇₀ (optical density at 570 nm) of the negative control tissues was within the acceptance limits of OECD 431 (lower acceptance limit ≥0.8 and upper acceptance limit >= 2.8) and the laboratory historical control data range. In the range of 20 - 100% viability the Coefficient of Variation between tissue replicates was < 8%, indicating that the test system functioned properly.

Skin corrosion is expressed as the remaining cell viability after exposure to the test item. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 3-minute and 1-hour treatments with the test item compared to the negative control tissues was 101% and 90%, respectively. Because the mean relative tissue viability for the test item was not below 50% after the 3-minute treatment and not below 15% after the 1-hour treatment the test item is considered to be not corrosive.

In conclusion, 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl methacrylate is not corrosive in the in vitro skin corrosion test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
