decontamination.
Repeated Applications: Repeated (x3) four-hour applications of the undiluted test sample to rabbit skin caused moderate to severe erythema in all six rabbits during the application phase and one, two and three days after decontamination of the final application. All signs of erythema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in all six rabbits during the application phase and one day after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in four rabbits two days after decontamination of the final application; one rabbit had thickening obscuring any oedema. Moderate or severe oedema was still observed in three rabbits three days after decontamination of the final application.
All signs of oedema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application.
Additional signs of irritation were desquamation, thickening and hardening. - Other effects:
- One animal was killed during the study but its illness was not thought to be compound-related.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate was not irritating to skin in this study.
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study 6 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
Very slight or moderate to severe erythema was observed in five rabbits 30-60 minutes after decontamination. Very slight erythema was observed in one rabbit one day after decontamination. All signs of erythema had disappeared two days after decontamination. Very slight or slight oedema was observed in four rabbits 30-60 minutes after decontamination. All signs of oedema had disappeared one day after decontamination.
Additionally, the substance was applied in three repeated 4 hours exposures. Repeated (x3) four-hour applications of the undiluted test sample to rabbit skin caused moderate to severe erythema in all six rabbits during the application phase and one, two and three days after decontamination of the final application. All signs of erythema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in all six rabbits during the application phase and one day after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in four rabbits two days after decontamination of the final application; one rabbit had thickening obscuring any oedema. Moderate or severe oedema was still observed in three rabbits three days after decontamination of the final application. All signs of oedema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application. Additional signs of irritation were desquamation, thickening and hardening.
Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is not classified as skin irritant based on the results of this study according to the GHS criteria.

- Conclusions:
- Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is not irritating to the eyes in this study.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed afterwards. The animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
Instillation into the rabbit eye caused no initial pain (class 0 on a 0-5 scale). Conjunctival effects were observed in all three rabbits and consisted of slight redness, slight chemosis and moderate or severe discharge. There were no corneal or iridial effects. All signs of irritation had disappeared two days after instillation.
As a result of these effects, Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is not classified as eye irritant.

- Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
- Three sets, each consisting of three corneas (negative control, test item and positive control) were tested.
- Details on study design:
- SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF CORNEAS: The eyes were used within 24 hours of slaughter. For the pre-test procedure a baseline reading for each cornea holder was taken with medium prior to loading of the cornea on to the cornea holder. Corneas, free from defects, were dissected so they had a 2-3 mm rim of sclera and were transferred to a container containing Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution containing antibiotics.
Selected corneas were mounted on the corneal holders with the endothelial side against the O-ring of the posterior half of the holder. The anterior half of the holder was then placed on the top of the cornea and fixed in place. Both chambers were then filled to excess with pre-warmed phenol red free Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) (the posterior chamber filled first to allow the cornea to return to its natural concave position), ensuring no bubbles were present within the holders. The device was then equilibrated at 32 ± 1°C for at least one hour to allow the corneas to equilibrate with the medium and achieve normal metabolic activity, to the extent possible. Following equilibration, the medium was removed from both chambers and fresh pre-warmed phenol red free EMEM added to both chambers. A baseline opacity reading was then taken for each cornea.
Corneas having an opacity value <7 opacity units for the opacitometer were used in the study. Three corneas were tested in each group.
QUALITY CHECK OF THE ISOLATED CORNEAS : Eyes were examined prior to use and corneas free from any visible defects were used. Corneas possessing an opacity less than seven opacity units or equivalent for the opacitometer were used in the study.
NUMBER OF REPLICATES : Three sets, each consisting of three corneas were tested
NEGATIVE CONTROL USED : Saline
POSITIVE CONTROL USED : Dimethylformamide
APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME : 750 μL, corneas were treated and exposed for approximately 10 minutes ± 30 seconds at 32 ± 1 °C.
TREATMENT METHOD: closed chamber.
REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Number of washing steps after exposure period: At the end of exposure period, the test item, positive control and negative control were removed from their respective anterior chamber and the corneal epithelium washed until no visual evidence of test item, positive control or negative control was observed using EMEM (containing phenol red).
- POST-EXPOSURE INCUBATION: After rinsing, the corneas were incubated for an additional period of approximately 2 hours ± 10 minutes at 32 ± 1ºC.
METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: yes, any damage by the test item is assessed by quantitative measurements of changes in corneal opacity
- Corneal permeability: yes, passage of sodium fluorescein dye measured with the aid of an Absorbance Microplate Reader (OD490)
- Others (e.g, pertinent visual observations, histopathology): None

Additional information
Skin irritation
Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate was not corrosive to skin in an OECD TG 431 study and not irritating to skin in an OECD TG 439 study.
In a primary dermal irritation study 6 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate
for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
Very slight or moderate to severe erythema was observed in five rabbits 30-60 minutes after decontamination. Very slight erythema was observed in one rabbit one day after decontamination. All signs of erythema had disappeared two days after decontamination. Very slight or slight oedema was observed in four rabbits 30-60 minutes after decontamination. All signs of oedema had disappeared one day after decontamination.
Additionally, the substance was applied in three repeated 4 hours exposures. Repeated (x3) four-hour applications of the undiluted test sample to rabbit skin caused moderate to severe erythema in all six rabbits during the application phase and one, two and three days after decontamination of the final application. All signs of erythema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in all six rabbits during the application phase and one day after decontamination of the final application. Slight to severe oedema was observed in four rabbits two days after decontamination of the final application; one rabbit had thickening obscuring any oedema. Moderate or severe oedema was still observed in three rabbits three days after decontamination of the final application. All signs of oedema had disappeared seven days after decontamination of the final application. Additional signs of irritation were desquamation, thickening and hardening.
Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is not classified as skin irritant based on the results of this study according to the GHS criteria.
Eye irritation
Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate was not irritating to the eyes in an OECD TG 437 study.
In a primary eye irritation study 0.1 mL of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 3 female young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The eyes were not rinsed afterwards. The animals then were observed for 3 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize.
Instillation into the rabbit eye caused no initial pain (class 0 on a 0-5 scale). Conjunctival effects were observed in all three rabbits and consisted of slight redness, slight chemosis and moderate or severe discharge. There were no corneal or iridial effects. All signs of irritation had disappeared two days after instillation.
As a result of these effects, Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is not classified as eye irritant.
Respiratory irritation
No data on the respiratory irritation of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate are available.
There are no data gaps for the endpoint irritation/corrosion. No human information is available for this endpoint. However, there is no reason to believe that these results would not be applicable to humans.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate does not need to be classified for eye irritation or skin irritation according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008. Thus, no labelling is required.
