Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 aquatic algae: 72 hr EC50 >100 mg/l and NOEC ≥100 mg/l (nominal) (highest concentration tested) (OECD 201). The EC50 is equivalent to >74 mg/l and the NOEC to ≥100 mg/l when expressed in terms of the silanol hydrolysis product.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

A 72-hour E(L)C50 value of >100 mg/l and NOEC of ≥100 mg/l (nominal) (highest concentration tested) have been determined for the effects of 1,6-bis(trimethoxysilyl)hexane (CAS 87135-01-1) on growth rate of Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata.

In view of the test media preparation method/exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the hydrolysis products of the tested substance.

The results may be expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product, 1,6-bis(trihydroxysilyl)hexane, by applying a molecular weight correction: (MW of silanol = 242.38 / MW of parent = 326.54) * >100 = >74 mg/l.
