Description of key information
The substance is an insoluble organic liquid with an estimated low vapour pressure and an estimated high log P value. There is no toxicokinetic data on the substance itself. The physico-chemical properties of this substance indicate that it will be unlikely to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract or through the skin. But, fatty acids such as oleic acid are found naturally in foodstuff consumed by humans and animals and known to be absorbed following ingestion. The substance is not expected to be absorbed by the skin because it is poorly soluble in water and therefore unable to partition from the stratum corneum into the epidermis. There are no studies available to evaluate the systemic distribution. However, the estimated log P value would suggest that, if absorbed, it is likely that the substance would be widely distributed. Oleic acid undergoes esterification or beta-oxidation and the resulting metabolites can then feed into normal metabolic processes. Excretion is likely to be in the faeces.

Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
