Description of key information

In a skin irritation study conducted according to OECD 404 and to GLP (Hüls Prüfinstitut für Toxikologie, 1993b),  Dynasylan IBTMO (trimethoxy(2-methylpropyl)silane) was irritating to the skin of small white Russian rabbits. There were no signs of systemic toxicity. 
In an eye irritation study conducted to a protocol similar to OECD 405, and to GLP (Hüls Prüfinstitut für Toxikologie, 1993c), Dynasylan IBTMO (isobutyltrimethoxysilan) was not irritating to the eyes of small white Russian rabbits. There were some minor signs of irritation involving the conjunctivae, that had reversed by 72 hours in two of the animals and by day 6 in one animal.

Additional information

The key studies are the only data available for skin and eye irritation.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The selected study is the only skin irritation study available for the registered substance. It was conducted in accordance with an appropriate OECD test guideline and in compliance with GLP.

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The selected study is the only eye irritation study available for the registered substance. It was conducted in accordance with an appropriate OECD test guideline and in compliance with GLP.

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vivo data, trimethoxy(2 -methylpropyl)silane is classified as a 'Cat 2: Skin irritant' with the hazard statement 'H315: Causes skin irritation' according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. There is no classification for eye irritation, based on in vivo data.
