Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Main ADME resultsopen allclose all
Type:
absorption
Results:
After oral exposure, the chemical is readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract in man and rat. The dermal absorption of the chemical is relatively poor as can be expected from an ionic molecule.
Type:
distribution
Results:
Since metabolism of the chemical has been reported, it is likely to be distributed in the liver where much of the metabolism takes place.
Type:
metabolism
Results:
Both compounds were extensively metabolized (omega and beta oxidation) with the proportion of radioactivity appearing in urine and respired air generally independent of the route of administration.
Type:
excretion
Results:
By the oral route, 67% of the administered radioactivity with CllAE3S appeared in the urine of male rats compared to 45% in females; expired air contained 19% and 35% of administered radioactivity respectively; 4-5% was present in faeces for both sexes.

Metabolite characterisation studies

Metabolites identified:
yes
Details on metabolites:
2-(triethoxy sulphate) acetic acid (source chemical - C12AE3S)
3-(triethoxysulfate) propionic acid (source chemical - CllAE3S)

Bioaccessibility (or Bioavailability)

Bioaccessibility (or Bioavailability) testing results:
The length of the ethoxy1ate portion in an AES molecule seems to have an important impact on the biokinetics of AES in humans and in the rat.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): low bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Since the chemicals 14C-CllAE3S and 14C-C12AE3S (AES – Alcohol Ethoxy Sulphates) were readily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract in man and rat, metabolized and excreted out of the living system through the urine and feaces (longer ethoxylate chains (>7-9 EO units), it can be concluded that they shall exhibit low bio-accumulation potential.
