Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

There are no test data for the substance. However a 96-hour LC50 value of >500 mg/L and NOEC of ≥500 mg/L (nominal concentration) have been determined for the effects of a  read-across substance, Triethoxy(methyl)silane (CAS 2031-67-6), on mortality of Brachydanio rerio. The test organisms were primarily exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No test data for short-term toxicity to fish are available for trichloro(methyl)silane. However a study of short-term toxicity to fish is available for the related substance Triethoxy(methyl)silane. Trichloro(methyl)silane (CAS 75-79-6) and Triethoxy(methyl)silane (CAS 2031-67-6) both hydrolyse to methylsilanetriol. The hydrolysis half-lives of Trichloro(methyl)silane and Triethoxy(methyl)silane indicate that, under conditions relevant to ecotoxicity assessment, both will hydrolyse to methylsilanetriol in the course of the tests. 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 with triethoxy(methyl)silane.Effects of hydrogen chloride on aquatic organisms are limited to those that result from changes to pH in unbuffered media.
