Title Sensitising potential of 12 di(meth)acrylates in the guinea pig
Bibliographic information Jan. 1983, Vol.9, No.1, p.10-20. Illus. 14 ref.
Abstract The sensitising potential of 12 di(meth)acrylates was assessed when applied epidermally and intradermally to the guinea pig. Dimethacrylates are moderate to strong sensitisers in the guinea pig. Diethylene glycol diacrylate did not produce sensitisation; 1,2-ethanediol diacrylate and 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate sensitised a number of animals; reaction pattern to 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, neopentane diol diacrylate and 1,5-pentanediol diacrylate differed from that commonly observed with sensitisers, and this different pattern makes it difficult to classify these monomers with certainty as sensitisers.
