Abstract:

A hazard evaluation of ENT-4296 was performed using rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs. Although no deleterious health effects were produced following skin application, ingestion, inhalation and sensitization testing, single direct application to rabbit eyes produced corneal injury, iritis and conjunctivitis. For this reason, it is recommended that tetrahydrofurfuryl-2-methylacetate ENT-4296 not be approved for testing as a face net impregnant.
