The trifunctional methacrylate monomer in this product produced a positive
result in a mouse lymphoma test, indicating that it may have mutagenic
potential. However, an 18 month carcinogenicity study in mice was negative
for all cancers including the skin which is a major source of exposure. An
Ames test for mutagenicity was negative. Therefore, there is reason to
believe that this mouse lymphoma assay was a false positive finding. It
should be noted that this assay system produces a high incidence of false
positive responses.
The unsaturated cyclic dione in this product has been reported to cause
ulceration of nasal mucous membranes, chronic bronchitis and asthma in
workers with repeated exposure to high concentrations. It was also reported
to cause chromosome aberrations in chinese hamster cells. However, it was
not mutagenic or genotoxic in several other in-vitro and in-vivo assays.
This material was also found to be tumorigenic in rats.
