| Hazard class | Classification | Symbol | Signal word | Hazard statement | Precautionary statement | Rationale for the classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Acute toxicity （Oral） | Category 4 |
|
Warning | H302: Harmful if swallowed |
P301+P312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. P264: Wash ... thoroughly after handling. P270: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. P330: Rinse mouth. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was set as Category 4 based on average LD50= 443.7 mg/kg. This average was calculated using the upper/lower limits of rat oral LD50 values = 250-500, 590, and 1300 mg/kg (Patty (5th, 2001) , and 950-1130 mg/kg (DFGOT (2001)). In addition, although compound is considered to be a mixture of isomers, ACGIH and DFG were estimated for isomer. From the description that "All toxicity studies are conducted by all hydroxypropylacrylate isomers, mainly 75% 2-hydroxy-1-propyl acrylate and 25% 1-hydroxy-2-propyl acrylate or 66% 2-hydroxy-1-propyl acrylate, 33% 1-hydroxy-2-propyl acrylate and 1% free acrylic acid" (DFGOT (2001)), it was assumed that each component indicated equal toxicity. |

P322: Specific treatment （see ... on this label）. P361: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. P363: Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. P405: Store locked up. P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... |
It was set as Category 2 based on rabbits dermal LD50= 112 ul/kg (DFGOT (2001)) = 112 x specific gravity 1.06 = 119mg/kg. In addition, although test compound is considered to be a mixture of isomers, both ACGIH and DFG were evalated as a mixture. And the description that "toxicity studies have been performed by all hydroxypropylacrylate isomers, mainly 75% 2-hydroxy-1-propyl acrylate and 25% 1-hydroxy-2-propyl acrylate or 66% 2-hydroxy-1-propyl acrylate, 33% 1-hydroxy-2-propyl acrylate, and 1% free acrylic acid" (DFGOT (2001)), it was assumed that each component indicates equal toxicity. |
