Results and discussion
Percutaneous absorption
- Dose:
- 9 mg/cm2
- Parameter:
- percentage
- Absorption:
- ca. 0.023 %
- Remarks on result:
- other: 24 hours
- Remarks:
- The majority (75%) of the absorbed dose was found in the skin, and the majority (98%) of the applied dose evaporated from the application site.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The statistical analysis of the data indicated that only 0.023% of the applied dose of neat HMDS was absorbed at the end of the assay (standard error of the mean =0.011% of applied dose). The majority of the absorbed HMDS (75.07%) was found in the skin. The percent of applied dose recovered from all analyzed samples for neat HMDS was 97.58 +/- 0.351%. The majority of the applied dose (97.51 +/- 0.357%) volatilised from the dosing site and was collected in the charcoal basket.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In a well conducted in vitro dermal absorption study conducted to GLP (reliability score 1), a statistical analysis of the data indicated that only
0.023% of the applied dose of hexamethyldisiloxane was absorbed through human cadaver skin. The majority of the dose volatilised from the application site (97.5%).
