Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Allyl 2-cyanoacrylate is a structural analogue to 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate. Both substances share the reactive cyanoacrylate function. The chain length of the alcohol moiety in allyl cyanoacrylate is only slightly different compared to 2-ethyl cyanoacrylate thus it can be considered that both have similar toxicological properties


 


Skin irritation:


In an OECD 404 guideline study with New Zealand rabbits a slightly irritating property of ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate was shown with a primary dermal irritation index (PDII) of 0.87 (mean).  Hence, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is not considered to be skin irritating. However, based on CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, Annex VI, Table 3, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate requires classification as Skin Irrit. 2. H315.


 


Eye irritation:


Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate was tested in an OECD 405 guideline study resulting in in an overall irritation score of 29.33 (mean) with reversibility within 24 hours. Based on this study, ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate is considered eye irritating and classified as Eye Irrit. 2, H319.
