Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Acute oral toxicity: LD₅₀ > 5000 mg/kg bw, similar to OECD Guideline 423 (Dow Corning Corporation, 1980c).

Additional information

Oral

Reaction Mass of bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylphosphonate and (trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylmethylphosphonate has been tested in an acute oral toxicity study conducted according to a guideline equivalent to OECD TG 401. The undiluted test substance was administered by gavage to 5 male and 5 female rats at 5000 mg/kg. All rats exhibited weakness and drowsiness for several hours after the treatment. One female rat died after one hour but the remaining animals appeared normal at 48 hours after treatment, and all remaining animals survived the 14 day observation period. Under the test conditions, the test substance has a very low acute oral toxicity. The LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw (Dow Corning Corporation 1980c).

Dermal

In an acute dermal toxicity study Reaction Mass of bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylphosphonate and (trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylmethylphosphonate was tested in a limit test conducted according to a test guideline equivalent to OECD TG 402. Single dermal administration at 2000 mg/kg to five male and five female rabbits did not result in mortality. The acute dermal LD50 was therefore established to be greater than 2000 mg/kg in this study (Dow Corning Corporation 1980d).


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information for Reaction Mass of bis(trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylphosphonate and (trimethoxysilylpropyl)methylmethylphosphonate, the substance does not require classification for acute toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
