Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 microorganisms: 3hr ASRI EC50 >100 mg/l (OECD 209) for read-across substance 3 -(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No reliable data are available for the toxicity to microorganisms of the submision substance 3 -(trichlorosilyl)propiononitrile.

3 -(trichlorosilyl)propiononitrile hydrolyses very rapidly to 3 -(trihydroxylsilyl)propiononitrile.

The other hydrolysis product is HCl.Effects of hydrogen chloride on microorganisms are limited to those that result from changes to pH in unbuffered media.

A toxicity to microorganisms study is available for the related substance 3 -(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile.

It is considered appropriate to read across the toxicity to microorganisms result for 3 -(triethoxysilyl)propiononitrile because, though it does not hydrolyse significantly in the timescale of the ASRI test (t1/2 6.5 hrs, pH7, measured), it does indicate that the propiononitrile group does not exhibit toxicity to microorganisms. This read-across, indicating no evidence of toxicity to microorganisms, is supported by an overall review of the toxicity to microorganisms of the organosilane substances category as a whole.
