| Environmental fate | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1.5(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that hydroxypropyl acrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of hydroxyporpyl acrylate from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Hydroxypropyl acrylate is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 0.12 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2). A 83% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(3) suggests that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC). Using an ecosystem model, degradation rate of hydroxypropyl acrylate in soil was 3.4X10-7/s(4).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 1.5(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that hydroxypropyl acrylate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.7X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 0.018 L/mole-sec(SRC) was estimated using a structure estimation method(2)this corresponds to half-lives of 12 and 1.2 years at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively(2). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 0.17(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. A 83% of Theoretical BOD using activated sludge in the Japanese MITI test(5) suggests that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in water(SRC). Using an ecosystem model, degradation rates of hydroxypropyl acrylate in water and sediment were 6.8X10-7/s and 7.5X10-8/s, respectively(6).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), hydroxypropyl acrylate, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.12 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor. Vapor-phase hydroxypropyl acrylate is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals and ozone(SRC)the half-lives for these reactions in air is estimated to be 22 hours and 6.5 days(SRC), calculated from its respective rate constants of 1.7X10-11 and 1.7X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that were derived using a structure estimation method(2). Hydroxypropyl acrylate contains chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC). The degradation rate of hydroxypropyl acrylate in air was 1.4X10-5/s based on calculations using a chemical pollution footprint methodology(4). |
| Exposure routes | The substance can be absorbed into the body through the skin and by ingestion. |
| Toxicity summary | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Hydroxypropyl acrylate is a colorless liquid. It is mainly used either as a co-monomer in the manufacture of polymers or as a chemical reactant in the manufacture of chemical intermediates. It is used in food contact substances as indirect additive. HUMAN STUDIES: In human patch tests, three out of 24 patients showing irritation to initial exposure to acrylates including hydroxypropyl acrylate, showed sensitization reactions to hydroxypropyl acrylate exposure. Several cases of occupational contact dermatitis have been reported. ANIMAL STUDIES: In experimental animals, hydroxypropyl acrylates were highly irritating and corrosive to the eyes. Applied to the skin, they caused marked irritation and, occasionally, necrosis. Contact sensitivity was produced in guinea pigs. In rats given up to 2000 mg/kg clinical signs included ataxia, salivation, and passiveness. Animals that died during the study showed stained muzzle, lungs, stomach and intestines red and fluid filled, and enlarged stomach. An inhalation study with rats, mice, rabbits and dogs was conducted with hydroxypropyl acrylate. In rats, a small increase in the number of animals with changes in the lungs at 10 ppm (subacute pneumonitis) and the nasal mucosa was observed. In the mouse study, no mortality was observed. Three of 20 mice exposed to 10 ppm, but none exposed to 5 ppm showed signs of eye irritation. All rabbits exposed to 10 ppm and 2 of 4 animals exposed to 5 ppm developed slight rhinitis and eye irritation (moderate conjunctivitis). The most marked effects were seen in the upper respiratory system of all rabbits, especially those in the 10 ppm group that were characterized by mucopurulent rhinitis with squamous metaplasia and ulceration of the nasal turbinate mucosa. In the dog study, no mortality was observed. At necropsy, exudative rhinitis, tracheitis, and suppurative bronchopneumonia were observed in all hydroxypropyl acrylate-exposed dogs. Therefore, conjunctivitis and inflammatory, degenerative, and/or hyperplastic changes in the (upper) respiratory tract are the key effects following exposure to a mixture of hydroxypropyl acrylate isomers after inhalation exposure. No evidence of carcinogenicity was observed for the closely related, hydroxyethyl acrylate, following 18 months of inhalation exposure. In developmental study in rats exposed by inhalation (1, 5, or 10 ppm) no treatment related increase in embryo/fetal lethality or fetal malformations was observed at any dose level. Hydroxypropyl acrylate was tested in the bacterial reverse mutation assay test with Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 at concentrations up to 5000 ug/plate with and without metabolic activation. It was considered not mutagenic under the conditions of the assay . |

| Ongoing Test Status | EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard. The iCSS Dashboard provides an interactive tool to explore rapid, automated (or in vitro high-throughput) chemical screening data generated by the Toxicity Forecaster (ToxCast) project and the federal Toxicity Testing in the 21st century (Tox21) collaboration. /The title compound was tested by ToxCast and/or Tox21 assays/[USEPAICSS Dashboard ApplicationAvailable from, as of August 9, 2018: http://actor.epa.gov/dashboard/] |
| ICSC Environmental Data | The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. It is strongly advised not to let the chemical enter into the environment. |
| Soil Adsorption/Mobility | Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of hydroxypropyl acrylate can be estimated to be 1.5(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that hydroxypropyl acrylate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). |
| Human Toxicity Excerpts | /HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ In human patch tests, three out of 24 patients showing irritation to initial exposure to acrylates including hydroxypropyl acrylate, showed sensitization reactions to hydroxypropyl acrylate exposure./HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Data on allergic contact dermatitis from acrylates and 4 patients sensitized during routine patch testing are reported. During 1982-1985, 7 different acrylates /were used/ for tests. 1 patient out of 22 (= 4.5%) was sensitized to ethyl acrylate and butyl acrylate (1% pet.). Since September 1985, ... a commercial (meth)acrylate series containing 28 substances /was used/. 3 of 24 patients tested became sensitized to ethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate (0.5% pet.). Because active sensitization with acrylates can be very harmful, it may be necessary to use lower concentrations than recommended. Currently, ethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate at 0.167% pet. /are tested by the authors/./CASE REPORTS/ A case of contact dermatitis and allergenicity from exposure to hydroxypropyl-acrylate (HPA) was described. A 39 year old male who worked as a maintenance fitter at a facility that manufactured HPA and methacrylate esters developed swelling and blisters on the right foot 12 hours after he cleaned a backset strainer containing HPA polymer. Six months later an erythematous papular eruption developed on his forearms, thighs, and groin after he worked on the HPA system for 1 day. The lesions cleared up after a few days. The lesions reappeared after the patient returned to work even though there was no further known exposure to HPA. The patient, however, had worn boots that may have been contaminated with HPA. Patch testing with HPA, hydroxypropyl-methacrylate, and hydroxyethyl-methacrylate yielded positive results. The patient avoided further exposure to HPA and the dermatitis subsequently cleared. It was suggested that the patient was sensitized to HPA and developed a cross sensitivity to methacrylates to which he had been exposed previously at the facility./EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES/ A number of case reports ... are presented for exposure to hydroxypropyl acrylate. These reports suggest that hydroxypropyl acrylate is likely to cause sensitization and cross-react with other acrylates in some exposed individuals. The human exposure to hydroxypropyl acrylate, however, is extremely limited since the only potential for repeated exposure is in workplace environments that have stringent protective procedures to avoid contact with the highly irritating chemical./OTHER TOXICITY INFORMATION/ Data on effects of exposure to hydroxypropyl acrylates are limited to cases of allergenic effects... |
| Artificial Pollution Sources | Hydroxypropy acrylate's production and use in lacquers, artificial resins, adhesives, elastomers, ink and oil additives, and as a viscosity reducer(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC). |
| Environmental Biodegradation | AEROBIC: Hydroxypropyl acrylate, present at 100 mg/L, reached 83% of its theoretical BOD in 4 weeks using an activated sludge inoculum at 30 mg/L in the Japanese MITI test(1). |
| Environmental Bioconcentration | An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated in fish for hydroxypropyl acrylate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 0.17(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. |
