Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
An experiment to assess the dissolution and bioaccessibility of the test item bismuth silicate was conducted in five physiological media: phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.2), artificial interstitial fluid or Gamble’s solution (pH 7.4), artificial sweat solution (pH 6.5), artificial lysosomal fluid (pH 4.5) and artificial gastric fluid (pH 1.5), selected to simulate relevant human-chemical interactions. The dissolved amount of the test item was quantified by the mass concentration of bismuth. Based on the release of bismuth in five artificial physiological test media, bismuth silicate is considered essentially insoluble in artificial interstitial fluid, sweat solution and PBS, and slightly soluble in gastric fluid (1.00 % bismuth released after 24 hours). Bismuth silicate is more soluble in artificial lysosomal fluid (51.71% of bismuth was released after 72 hours).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Absorption rate - oral (%):
- 50
- Absorption rate - dermal (%):
- 50
- Absorption rate - inhalation (%):
- 100
Additional information
In the absence of specific studies on either the target or source substances relating to absorption via the various exposure routes, or toxicokinetic data from in vivo toxicity studies, the default values for absorption via oral, dermal or inhalation have been entered. The dissolution data generally supports the selection of these values since dissolution into lysosomal fluid was significantly greater than any of the other artificial fluids whilst dissolution into gastric, sweat and interstitial fluids were much lower and very similar.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
