Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
In the key skin sensitisation study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 406 (Buehler method) and in compliance with GLP, (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane was not sensitising to skin (Hüls, 1993e).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1993
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of study:
- Buehler test
- Justification for non-LLNA method:
- An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Buehler test method. Furthermore, the LLNA test method is not considered to be suitable for substances that contain silicon. Please refer to the attached document for further details.

- Interpretation of results:

- Conclusions:
- In a guideline study (Buehler method), conducted in compliance with GLP, (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane was not sensitising.
Reference
There were no substance related effects or influence on body
weight in either test or control animals. There was no
erythema or edema observed during Induction Phases I, II or
III; no skin irritation was observed in the control animals.
There was no skin irritation observed in either test or
control animals in the Challenge Phase.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
In the key skin sensitisation study, conducted in according to OECD Test Guideline 406 (Buehler method) and in compliance with GLP, (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane was concluded to be not sensitising to skin (Hüls, 1993e).
At the induction phase, a group of 20 guinea pigs was induced by epicutaneous occlusive application of 100% (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane on study days 0, 7 and 14. A control group of 10 animals was induced in the same way as the test group but with the vehicle, corn oil.
Challenge was performed two weeks following the last induction application, on study day 28. During challenge 100% (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane in corn oil was applied epicutaneously under occlusive dressing. A control group of 10 animals was challenged in the same way as the test group but with the vehicle, corn oil.
No erythema or oedema was observed during Induction Phases I, II or III. No skin irritation was observed in any of the control animals. There was no skin irritation observed in either the test or control animals during the challenge phase. There were no other substance-related effects or body weight effects in either the test or control animals. The positive control substance, 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, gave the expected results.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
No data are available regarding respiratory sensitisation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information, (3-chloropropyl)trimethoxysilane is not classified for skin sensitisation according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
