Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Ethyl methacrylate
EC Number:
202-597-5
EC Name:
Ethyl methacrylate
Cas Number:
97-63-2
Molecular formula:
C6H10O2
IUPAC Name:
ethyl methacrylate
Details on test material:
ethyl methacrylate, purity: no data

Commercial source: Rohm & Haas Philadeliphia, Pa.
The substance contained from 5 to 2000 ppm of polymerization inhibitor, monomethyl ether of hydroquinone,
or 100 ppm hydroqunione. The monomer was used as such with no further purification. No more data available.

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
ICR
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The test animals were 25 +/- 5 gm, male albino ICR mice.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
not specified
Details on study design:
 Several dose  levels of each compound were injected intraperitoneally into groups of  ten mice and the mice were observed for 7 days for mortality. Injections  were made with a clinical syringe when the dose to be 
administered was  greater than 1 ml. With a dose of 0.1 to 1.0 ml a tuberculin syringe was  used, and for doses of less than 0.1 ml a Hamilton microliter syringe was  used.
Statistics:
Acute LD50-values and 95 % confidence limits were calculated by Cornfield  and Mantel's modification of Karber's method.
