Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Studies on fish, daphnia and algae using excess loadings of CS (calcium silicate) showed no substancial acute toxicity; slightly elevated mortality was found in a fish test directly using suspended test material as well as a weak inhibitory effect of CS on green alga.
Test results for calcium silicate, based on loading rates, are as follows:
Fish:
96h-LL50(Oncorhynchus mykiss) >1000 mg/L (highest loading tested)
Daphnia:
48h-EL50 (Daphnia magna) >10,000 mg/L
Alga:
72h-ErL50(Scenedesmus subspicatus) >1000 mg/L
The 72h-EL10 was <100 mg/L
The inhibitory effects are supposed to be caused by metal ions of CS.
There are no chronic aquatic toxicity data (except algae). Due to the known inherent physico-chemical properties, the absence of substantial acute toxic effects as well as the ubiquitous presence of silica/silicates in the environment, there is no alert for harmful effects to arise from long-term exposure to synthetic amorphous calcium silicate.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
