Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, there is no evidence to suggest that the substance is significantly absorbed via any of the routes due to its physicochemical properties, this is coupled with the lack of effects shown in the in vivo studies, a 100% absorption rate is proposed as a worst case for oral, dermal and inhalation routes.
It is likely that the following ingestion, the substance undergoes conjugation with glucuronic acid and sulfate within the gastrointestinal tract. Following absorption, the fatty acids are transported to the tissues of the body including the liver where they undergo oxidation in the cells. These solubilised metabolites are then most probably excreted in the urine in conjugated form. Consequently, the substance is considered to have low bioaccumulation potential.
