Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A 48-hour EC50 value of >100 mg/l and NOEC of <10 mg/l have been determined for the effects of the read-across substance, dimethoxydimethylsilane (CAS 1112-39-6), on mobility of the freshwater invertebrate Daphnia magna.  It is likely that the test organisms were exposed to the hydrolysis products of the read-across substance, i.e. dimethysilanediol and methanol.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No test data for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates are available for dimethoxy(methyl)vinylsilane. However, reliable data have been read-across from the analogue substance dimethoxydimethylsilane (CAS 1112-39-6). The hydrolysis half-life of the registration substance indicates that, under conditions relevant to the short-term invertebrate test, hydrolysis to methylvinylsilanediol and methanol will occur (half-life 18.3 minutes at pH 7, 25°C). The read-across substance, dimethoxydimethylsilane, rapidly hydrolyses to dimethylsilanediol and methanol (half-life <0.6 hours at pH 7, 25°C). The properties of methanol and the justification of read-across are further discussed in the Ecotoxicological information discussion.

To provide evidence that the vinyl side chain does not contribute to toxicity of the registered substance read-across from trimethoxyvinylsilane (CAS 2768-02-7) has been used:

A 48-hour EC50 of 169 mg/l has been determined for the effects of trimethoxyvinylsilane on mobility of Daphnia magna.
