Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Based on the existing sub-chronic inhalation study and toxicokinetic properties for TXAX, the substance is not absorbed via inhalation and no significant systemic effects were observed at any dose level tested in the repeat dose inhalation studies. The effects observed in the 90-day repeated dose study was considered to be due to the material being phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and that the material accumulates in these macrophages and that is the limit to systemic exposure (Section 7.5.3 Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation). Therefore there is no value in conducting an OECD 421 study – the results will not be influenced by systemic toxicity.

The attached chemical safery report demonstrates that potential health risks from acute and long-term occupational inhalation exposure to TXAX are adequately controlled under the conditions of use given in the respective exposure scenarios . The fibre-based and dust-based risk characterisation ratios for potential adverse health affects that may arise from such exposure are all well below 1 for all identified uses.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

Based on the existing sub-chronic inhalation study and toxicokinetic properties for the substance, the substance is not absorbed via inhalation and no significant systemic effects were observed at any dose level tested in the repeat dose inhalation studies. The effects observed in the 90-day repeated dose study was considered to be due to the material being phagocytosed by alveolar macrophages and that the material accumulates in these macrophages and that is the limit to systemic exposure (Section 7.5.3 Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation). Therefore there is no value in conducting studies in developmental toxicity / teratogenicity are not conducted based on the lack of bioavailability.
