Irritant / corrosive response data:
- Very slight to well defined erythema with very slight to slight oedema was seen in all animals from Day 2.
- In addition, desquamation (characterised by dryness), thickening of the skin and small scabs on dose site was observed in one rabbit from Day 5.
- Reactions had resolved completely in two animals by either Day 3 or 5, however, very slight erythema was still present in the remaining animal at study termination on Day 14.
Other effects:
- No signs of toxicity were observed in any animal throughout the observation period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
not skin irritating.
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, Propoxylated neopentylglycol diacrylate is not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study performed according to OECD Guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, three New Zealand White male rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of Propoxylated neopentylglycol diacrylate, under a semi-occlusive patch (25 mm X 25 mm) for 4 h to intact skin of the dorso-lumbar region. Animals were then observed for 14 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize at Day 1 (approximately 60 min after removal of the dressing) and Days 2, 3 and 4 (equivalent to 24, 48 and 72 h) after exposure. Additional observations were made for two animals on Day 5 and for one animal on Days 6 through 14.

Very slight to well defined erythema with very slight to slight oedema was seen in all animals from Day 2. In addition, desquamation (characterised by dryness), thickening of the skin and small scabs on dose site was observed in one rabbit from Day 5. Reactions had resolved completely in two animals by either Day 3 or 5, however, very slight erythema was still present in the remaining animal at study termination on Day 14. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals were respectively 0.3, 1.3, 1.3 for erythema and 0.3, 0.3, 0.3 for oedema score. In this study, Propoxylated neopentylglycol diacrylate is not a skin irritant on male rabbits.

Under the test conditions, Propoxylated neopentylglycol diacrylate is not  irritating to skin.
