Details on test material:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): 2-Hydroxyethyl acrylate
- Source: Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO (radiolabelled), Epoxy Products Department of The Dow Chemical Company, Freeport, TX (non-radiolabelled)
- Analytical purity: molar purity of 98.3 %, as determined by gas chromatography and infrared analysis (Hermann, 1991)

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Breeding Laboratories (Kingston, NY; Raleigh, NC)
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals
- Weight at study initiation: approx. 200 g
- Fasting period before study: feed withdrawal approximately 8 hr prior to administration of the 14C-HEA and food was returned about 4 hr post-dosing for all routes of exposure.
- Individual metabolism cages: no data
- Diet (ad libitum): certified rodent chow (Purina Mills Inc., Purina #5002)
- Water (ad libitum): municipal tap water
- Acclimation period: at least one week plus acclimation to glass Roth-type metabolism cages for at least 2 days prior to the administration


ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h / 12 h

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Vehicle:

water

Duration of exposure:

48 hr exposure

Doses:

12.5 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 15-20 µCi of radioactivity)

No. of animals per group:

4

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: interscapularly and as far anteriorly on the back as possible, 4 cm2
- Type of wrap if used: Immediately after dosing, the dosed area was covered with a piece of teflon@ film (4 an X 4 an) which was secured to the Stomahesive patch/well with surgical adhesive. The dosed area was then wrapped with veterinary bandaging tape.
- Time intervals for shavings or clipplings: before exposure
