Principles of method if other than guideline:
IH SkinPerm (v2.04) is a mathematical tool for estimating dermal absorption. The rate of mass build-up (or loss) on the skin comes from the deposition rate onto the skin minus the absorption rate into the Stratum Corneum (SC) and the amount evaporating from the skin to the air.

*Default value defined according to the internal validation study
**Estimated skin surface of two hands of an adult.
***The skin adherence field is greyed out and a default of -1 is indicated if the substance is a liquid at 25°C. Smart logic is built into IH SkinPerm; the program recognizes whether a substance is a solid or liquid at standard temperature (25°C) based on the physicochemical properties. For substances
that are solids at 25°C a maximum adherence value up to 2 mg/cm² is allowed based on studies of soil-on-skin adherence. If the deposition rate results in an increase above the input figure (0.2-2 mg/cm²), it is assumed that the surplus disappears just by removal from the skin.
*** 3 cm if clothing involved, 1 cm if bare skin involved

Description of key information

No experimental toxicokinetic study is available on Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid. However, as per REACH guidance document R7.C, information on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion may be deduced from the physicochemical properties and QSAR predictions.

Additional information

No experimental toxicokinetic study is available on Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid. However, as per REACH guidance document R7.C, information on absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion may be deduced from the physicochemical properties, including:


-Molecular weight: mean 452 ; range [384;972]


-Water solubility: 1.89 mg/L 


-Partition coefficient Log Kow: 5.62


-Vapour pressure: 0.117 10^-6 Pa (20°C)


 


ABSORPTION


The value of log Kow (> 5) and the low water solubility are in the range suggestive of low absorption from the gastro-intestinal tract subsequent to oral ingestion. Indeed the absorption of highly lipophilic substances may be limited by the inability of such substances to dissolve into GI fluids. No adverse effect was observed in the oral acute toxicity study in rats treated with 2000 mg/kg/d. However, 100% of oral absorption is taken into account for risk assessment.


 


With low water solubility, a high value of log Kow and a molecular mass near to 500 g/mol, dermal absorption is anticipated to be low. Moreover, the acrylates are known to bind to skin components, and this binding decreases their dermal absorption. Based on the IH skin Perm (QSAR), the dermal absorption of Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid is estimated to be low (< 10%). Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid is not skin irritating or skin sensitizer.


For risk assessment, 10% of dermal absorption is taken into account.


 


Based on the very low value of the vapour pressure, Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid is not a volatile substance. However 100% of absorption after inhalation exposure is taken into account for risk assessment. 


 


 


DISTRIBUTION and METABOLISM


The molecule is lipophilic (log Kow >5), it is likely to distribute into cells and the intracellular concentration may be higher than extracellular concentration particularly in fatty tissues.


No specific data is available on the metabolism of Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid.


 


ELIMINATION


Due to the low water solubility and a moderate molecular mass (near to 500 g/mol), the excretion of Reaction products of 4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, ethoxylated and methacrylic acid in the urines is not expected. An excretion via bile and faeces is possible.
