Toxicity Profile for Neopentyl glycol diacrylate (1996)
Abstract
Neopentyl glycol diacrylate (NPGDA) was a moderate to severe skin and eye irritant in the rabbit. A strong sensitizing potential has been demonstrated in guinea-pigs. It is of low acute oral toxicity in the rat and moderately toxic via the dermal route in rabbits. Prolonged dermal applications to mice gave evidence of local carcinogenicity. An Ames bacterial test gave no evidence of mutagenic potential. In mammalian cells in culture, NPGDA did not induce chromosomal damage but was mutagenic.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
