Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

A 96-h LC50 value of >100 mg/l and NOEC of >=100 mg/l (nominal, supported by analysis) (highest concentration tested) have been determined for the effects of the registration substance on mortality of Zebra fish (Brachydanio rerio).

In view of the test media preparation method and static exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to a mixture of: the parent substance, its butanedioic acid- containing hydrolysis products, silanol hydrolysis products and potentially cross-linked by-products, and ethanol. Dissolved complexes of chemical structures containing the butanedioate group are also likely.

It is noted that other studies have consistently reported formation of white solid precipitates even at loadings as low as 1 mg/l. This study does not report any observation of precipitates. It is unclear how such high concentrations were achieved in this study. It is possible that the test medium was a dispersion rather than a true solution or used test media with particularly low mineral concentrations.
