Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Reliable short-term toxicity tests results are available for freshwater fish (Brachydanio rerio), invertebrates (Daphnia magna) and algae (Scenedesmus subspicatus). The relevant short-term values are:

Fish: LC50 (96 h): >100 mg/l, equivalent to >79 mg/l when expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product, (3-chloropropyl)silanetriol.

Daphnia: EC50 (48 h): 869 mg/l, equivalent to 685 mg/l when expressed in terms of concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, (3-chloropropyl)silanetriol.

Algae: EC50 (72 h): >833 mg/l; NOEC: 167 mg/l, equivalent to >657 and 132 mg/l, respectively when expressed in terms of concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, (3-chloropropyl)silanetriol.

 

The registered substance (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane (CAS 2530-87-2) hydrolyses rapidly to (3-chloropropyl)silanetriol and methanol (half-life 4.5 hours at pH 7 and 20°C).

The prolonged test solution preparation time (18-24 hours) means it is likely that the test organisms in each test were exposed primarily to the hydrolysis products.

Long-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates data have been read across from (3-chloropropyl)triethoxysilane (CAS 5089-70-3):

Daphnia NOEC (21 d): ≥100 mg/l for effects on survival and reproduction of Daphnia magna. The NOEC is equivalent to ≥65 mg/l when expressed in terms of concentration of the hydrolysis product, (3-chloropropyl)silanetriol.

A data waiver is applicable to long-term toxicity to fish endpoint.

Toxicity to microorganisms: Activated sludge respiration inhibition 3-hour EC50 value of 400 mg/l, read-across from the analogous substance dichloro(3-chloropropyl) methylsilane (CAS 7787-93-1).

Please see the Toxicity to Microorganisms endpoint summary (IUCLID Section 6.1.7, CSR Section 7.4) for justification of read across.

 

Refer to IUCLID Section 6 endpoint summary (CSR Section 7.0) for further discussion of the approach to chemical safety assessment.

Methanol is well-characterised in the public domain literature and is not hazardous to aquatic organisms; the short-term EC50 and LC50 values for this substance are in excess of 1000 mg/l (OECD 2004a - SIDS for methanol).
