| Endpoint | Value | Route | Species | Study Type | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOAEL | 1000 mg/kg bw/day | oral | rat | oral | REACH |
| NOAEL | 1000 mg/kg bw/day | oral | rat | oral | REACH |
| NOAEL | 1000 mg/kg bw/day | oral | - | oral | REACH |
| NOAEL | 1000 mg/kg bw/day | oral | - | oral | REACH |
Expert Verdict
Skin irritant and potential skin sensitizer as free monomer; critical concern is residual monomer in polymer/copolymer end-products that must be controlled to trace levels; not appropriate for direct use in leave-on or rinse-off formulations as monomer
