Interpretation of results:
not classified
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPeoTA) was determined to be >13,200 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Executive summary:

A study was conducted to evaluate the acute dermal toxicity of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPeoTA) in albino rabbits. A dermal application of 13,200 mg/kg TMPeoTA was applied to 4 rabbits. Parameters evaluated included mortality, clinical observations and body weight for a period of 7 days. No mortality was observed. Lack of food consumption was reported in one animal on days 5 and 6. In conclusion, the single dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of TMPeoTA was determined to be >13,200 mg/kg bw in rabbits.
