Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Workers - Hazard via dermal route

Systemic effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
DNEL related information
Explanation for the modification of the dose descriptor starting point:

According to the results of an acute dermal toxicity study with ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate, LD50 is greaterthna 2000 mg/kg bw. No effects are described from human experience after short-term skin exposure to ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate.

Local effects

Long term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Acute/short term exposure
Hazard assessment conclusion:
no hazard identified
Most sensitive endpoint:
acute toxicity

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Local effects

Hazard assessment conclusion:
low hazard (no threshold derived)

Additional information - workers

Based on the evaluated physico-chemical properties of ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate, the test item is not classified as corrosive, explosive or as flammable. Ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate crystallizes at -71°C and melts at at -31°C. Under usual working conditions the monomer is a fluid, which polymerizes after contact to moisture in ambient air or to water. Therefore, it can only processed in sealed processes as long as polymerization should not occur.

Irritation can occur through inhalation or contact to the eyes, even though effects are considered mild.

Based on its irritating properties, a DNEL for inhalation of 1.8 ppm (9.25 mg/m3) was derived.
