Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

A study on repeated toxicity is waived due to high reactivity of 2-methoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate which makes testing not feasible. On contact with moisture, 2-methoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate polymerizes immediately.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Stability testing demonstrated that 2-methoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is a reactive molecule which polymerizes immediately on contact with moisture, so polymerization will occur during administration. Due to this high reactivity the determination of a NOAEL or LOAEL is not possible as 2 -methoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is not bioavailable after administration.

 

Thus, in accordance with annex XI section 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 testing of 2 -methoxyethyl 2 -cyanoacrylate on repeated dose toxicity is waived.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No sub-acute or chronic toxicity is expected since bioavailability of 2 -methoxyethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is unlikely due to its high reactivity.
