Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Long-term exposure, dermal, systemic effects

In 90-day studies performed in rats and mice with sodium thioglycolate, the dermal NOAELs for systemic toxicity were higher than 180 and 360 mg/kg bw/day, respectively. The NOAEL > 360 mg/kg bw/day in mice is selected as a relevant dose-descriptor.

Step 1) Relevant dose descriptor

NOAELMouse> 360 mg/kg bw/day

Step 2) Modification of starting point

Correction for substance differences in dermal absorption

Long-term exposure, inhalation, systemic effects

In a 90-day oral toxicity study performed in rats with sodium thioglycolate, the NOAEL for systemic toxicity was 20 mg/kg bw/day.

No difference between oral and inhalation absorption is assumed.

Step 1) Relevant dose descriptor

NOAELRat= 20 mg/kg bw/day

Step 2) Modification of starting point

Conversion into inhalatory NOAEC (in mg/m³) by using an 8-hour standard respiratory volume for the rat

Long-term exposure, dermal, local effects

1st approach based on sensitisation study:

It can be considered that the reddening seen after repeated dermal exposure is caused due to the sensitising potential of the thioglycolate anion.

2nd approach based on repead-dose toxicity:

In a 90-day dermal toxicity study perfomed in rats with sodium thioglycolate, the LOEL for local effects at the site of application (skin irritation) was 11.25 mg/kg bw.

Step 1) Relevant dose descriptor

LOELRat= 11.25 mg/kg bw/day
