Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Toxicity to microorganisms: 3 hour EC50 >1000 mg/l, NOEC ≥1000 mg/l (OECD 209), read-across from an analogous substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

There are no reliable microorganism toxicity data available for[3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]diethoxy(methyl)silane(CAS 2897-60-1), therefore good quality data for the analogous/structurally-related substance, [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]triethoxysilane (CAS 2602-34-8), have been read across.

Both substances hydrolyse rapidly and have silanol hydrolysis products that share epoxide as a functional group. In view of the hydrolysis, it is the silanol hydrolysis product that is relevant for environmental risk assessment. The other hydrolysis product is ethanol in both cases.[3-(2,3 -Epoxypropoxy)propyl]diethoxy(methyl)silane(CAS 2897-60-1) and [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]triethoxysilane (CAS 2602-34-8) are within an analogue group of substances within which, in general, there is no evidence of significant toxicity to microorganisms. This analogue group for the toxicity to microorganisms endpoint consists of a number of sub-classes of substances (based on structure/functionality) with different main codes (used to represent the different sub-classes). However, read-across is carried out between substances with the same main code in most cases. The table below presents microorganism toxicity data available for substances within the sub-class III-12 of epoxyalkyl alkoxysilanes.

[3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]diethoxy(methyl)silane(CAS 2897-60-1) and [3 -(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]triethoxysilane (CAS 2602-34-8) are members of this sub-class. It is therefore considered valid to read-across the results for [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]triethoxysilane (CAS 2602-34-8) to fill the data gap for the registered substance. Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA, 2013j) attached in Section 13.
