Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Correction factor for differences in bioavailability (ABS), oral vs. dermal absorption: 10 (The available data suggests that sodium thioglycolate and thioglycolic acid are readily absorbed by oral administration. However, based on the acute toxicity and skin penetration studies, it seems that the absorption of thioglycolic acid is significantly lower by dermal route than by oral administration and an assessment factor of 10 is used to take into account this difference of absorption)
