Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test item "Magnesium Acrylate Solution" (48.3%) was tolerated by the male and female rats at a dose of 4141 mg/kg body weight equal to 2000 mg/kg body weight Magnesium Acrylate without any symptoms of toxicity. Signs of skin irritation were not observed at the site of application.
Thus, the LD50-value for acute dermal toxicity of Magnesium Acrylate is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

 The test item “Magnesium Acrylate Solution” is a slightly brownish liquid. It was tested for its acute toxicity following dermal application.

Significant acute dermal toxicity of the test item was not expected. Therefore, the limit - dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight for five male and five female rats of the strain White Wistar was chosen according to the OECD Guideline for the Testing of Chemicals No. 402 “Acute Dermal Toxicity”.

 For the dose calculation the given test item concentration of 48.3 % was taken into consideration, i.e. the animals received a dose of 4141 mg/kg of the provided solution.

 The undiluted test item was applied uniformly over the skin and the test area was bandaged for an exposure time of 24 hours.

 No signs of skin irritation were observed at the site of application. Symptoms of systemic toxicity or unusual findings after application of 2000 mg/kg body weight were not recorded at any time during the study.

 No death occurred. Body weight development of the animals remaines positive 7 days and 14 days post application.

 The necropsy 14 days after dermal application showed no macroscopic visible substance related pathologic findings.

 

Thus, the LD₅₀-value for acute dermal toxicity is higher than 4141 mg/kg for the test item “Magnesium Acrylate Solution” (48.3%) equal to 2000 mg/kg Magnesium Acrylate.
