Principles of method if other than guideline:
IH SkinPerm (v2.04) is a mathematical tool for estimating dermal absorption. The rate of mass build-up (or loss) on the skin comes from the deposition rate onto the skin minus the absorption rate into the Stratum Corneum (SC) and the amount evaporating from the skin to the air.
IH Skin Perm provides two primary dermal exposure modes to the modeler. The first is “instantaneous deposition” in which the substance is assumed to be on the skin as the result of a single exposure event. The second is “deposition over time” in which the substance is assumed to be applied at a constant rate over time. In the first case (instantaneous deposition) the above DepositionRate is zero and IH Skin Perm then works to keep track of this single dose over time as it is absorbed into the SC or evaporates from the surface of the skin. In the second case (deposition over time) the rate of the substance going to the skin is assumed constant and the thickness of the film on the skin will either increase or decrease with time depending on the relative rates of deposition and removal.
The user inputs the amount going onto the skin as a single dose or as a constant rate and IH SkinPerm calculates the amount of chemical absorbed into the SC over time until all the material disappears from the surface via absorption and evaporation or the exposure is considered to be over.
Ultimately, the program estimates the amount of chemical absorbed into the systemic circulation of the body using clearly defined assumptions.
IH SkinPerm does all of this using relatively few physical chemical inputs for the substance. The details of these calculations are all available from Dr. ten Berge (ref: specific documents in attached justification section).

**Estimated skin surface of two hands of an adult.
***The maximum skin adherence refers to the substance mass per cm2 that can physically stay on the skin. This may be referenced in the literature or estimated. The maximum for solids is 3 mg/cm2 and for liquids 10 mg/cm2. If the instantaneous deposition is larger than the maximum skin adherence, the surplus is assumed to get lost.
*** 3 cm if clothing involved, 1 cm if bare skin involved
# [1,3 (or 1,4)-Phenylenebis(1-methylethylidene)]bis[ter-butyl]peroxide appears in the form of big compact blocks (92% of the test item) and powder (8% of the test item). 7% of particles present a mean diameter of 214µm, and only 0.75% of particles present a mean diameter lower than 100µm (99µm). Under standard conditions the skin adherence will be limited.
