| Abstract |
2-Ethylhexyl acrylate used in the formulation of paints and coatings was subjected to a standard battery of toxicological tests with rats, mice and rabbits. Although the compound is only moderately dangerous in terms of LD50 (4400mg/kg when administered intragastrically to mice), its low thresholds of acute and chronic action in the airborne state (46.0 and 10.0mg/m3, respectively) and its wide range of chronic effects (on the central nervous system, blood, thyroid gland and respiratory system) support its identification as a highly dangerous compound. An MAC of 1mg/m3 is recommended. |
