Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicokinetic / pharmacokinetic studies

Details on absorption:
Using a reliable experimental method, the in vivo and in vitro investigations as well as the PBPK models developed from the data showed that alkyl-methacrylate esters are rapidly absorbed and are hydrolyzed at exceptionally high rates to methacrylic acid by high capacity, ubiquitous carboxylesterases.
Details on excretion:
The removal of the hydrolysis product, methacrylic acid, also is very rapid (minutes). For 2-EHMA the half-life was 23.8 minutes and 99.9 % was removed by first-pass metabolism in the liver.
