Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Data on the absorption or the metabolic fate and thus information on the toxicokinetics in humans of absorbed TODI is very limited.
No information is available on the toxicokinetics of TODI or e.g. "MDI" (methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, similar compound to TODI) following oral exposure in animals. But due to its high reactivity, orally ingested TODI will undergo spontaneous hydrolysis upon reaching the stomach as degradation products that are insoluble in water and thus TODI is not likely to cross gastrointestinal-tract membranes. Taken together, absorption in the gastrointestina-tract of TODI and consequently bioavailability is rather unlikely.
Details on distribution in tissues:
no data available
Details on excretion:
Excretion is likely to occur in form of GSH-conjugates. It is assumed to appear mainly via faeces (similar as shown in a study with MDI: 5% via urine and 79% in faeces).

Metabolite characterisation studies

Details on metabolites:
no data available

Bioaccessibility (or Bioavailability)

Bioaccessibility (or Bioavailability) testing results:
