LD50 (rats) = > 10gm/kg [ChemIDplus] In an NTP substance profile, Chlorendic acid, CAS No. 115-28-6, is classified as "reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen" based on sufficient evidence in animals. Chlorendic acid is used as a flame retardant monomer in polyester coatings, epoxy resins, and polyurethane foams. It is also used as a chemical intermediate for dibutyl and dimethyl chlorendate, which are flame retardant additives. [NTP] |
