| Abstract |
Hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) is a mixture of isomers: 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate and 2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl acrylate. HPA has been used in the manufacture of thermosetting resins for surface coatings. The substance causes moderate burns and contact allergy has been reported in exposed workers. Results of animal experiments indicate that HPA is of moderate to low toxicity. Based on indications of ocular, nasal and upper respiratory tract irritation in animals after repeated HPA inhalation, an 8-h TWA value of 2.8 mg/m3 is recommended. In order to minimize irritation symptoms, a STEL of 6 mg/m@m3 is recommended. Notations C (corrosive), S (skin absorption) and A (sensitizer) are also assigned. |
