Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
In vitro dermal penetration rate of diacetone alcohol, as permeability coefficient (Kp) and short-term dermal absorption rates at 10 and 60 min, was determined using human cadaver skin mounted in an in vitro diffusion cell model. Total recovery, based on liquid scintillation count data for total radioactivity, was between 89.6 and 91.7% of the applied dose. Skin penetration was 0.04, 0.15 and 5.71 % of the dose after 10 min, 60 min and 24 h, respectively. Kp was 5.77e-4 cm/h. From the polynomial % absorption/exposure time curve (y = 1E-06x² + 0,0021x + 0,0188, R² = 1), a skin penetration of 1% was estimated for a 8-hour exposure.
