Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

A 48-hour EC50 value of >100 mg/L and NOEC of ≥100 mg/L have been determined for the effects of the read-across substance 3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile on mobility of Daphnia magna. It is likely that the test organisms were exposed to both the test substance and its hydrolysis products.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No data are available for the submission substance,

3-(trichlorosilyl)propiononitrile.

However data are available for the read-across substance

3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile.

The hydrolysis half-lives of 3 -(trichlorosilyl)propiononitrile and 3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrileindicate that, under conditions relevant to ecotoxicity assessment, both will hydrolyse to3-(trihydroxysilyl)propionitrile. The other hydrolysis products are hydrogen chloride and ethanol, respectively; the properties of these substances are well characterised. Ethanol is non-toxic to the environment and it is considered unlikely that it’s presence significantly affected the results of the test performed with3-(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile.Effects of hydrogen chloride on aquatic organisms are limited to those that result from changes to pH in unbuffered media.
