Description of key information

In an acute toxic class study, conducted to OECD Test Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002a, Reliability Score 1), the acute oral LD50 of 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane (CAS 18171 -19 -2; EC No. 242 -056 -0) was in the range 200-2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

 

There are no measured acute dermal toxicity data for 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane. Therefore, data have been read across from the structurally-related 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane. In an acute dermal limit study (Hüls AG, 1997b), conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, the dermal acute LD50 for the related substance, 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Wistar rats.

There are no acute inhalation studies on 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane or related analogue substances.

An acute dermal toxicity study conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 will be conducted and added to the dossier when available.

Additional information

In an acute toxic class study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 423 and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002a), the acute oral LD50 of 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane was in the range 200-2000 mg/kg bw in rats. All animals of both sexes showed slight to moderately reduced motility, slight to moderate ataxia, slight to moderately reduced muscle tone and slight to moderate dyspnoea from 15 minutes up to 24 hours after administration at 2000 mg/kg bw.  

Acute oral toxicity studies on the analogue substances, 3-chloropropyl(trimethoxy)silane (Hüls, 1993a), 3-chloropropyl(triethoxy)silane (Dow Corning Corporation, 1995) and 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane (Hüls AG, 1997), are included in support of the read-across for other endpoints. An acute oral toxicity test on chloromethyl(triethoxy)silane (Harlan, 2012) is included in support of the read-across justification discussion on bias in selection of analogue group substances.

There are no acute dermal toxicity data for 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane. Therefore data have been read across from the structurally-related 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane. In an acute dermal limit study (Hüls AG, 1997b), conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, the dermal acute LD50 for the related substance, 3-chloropropyl(diethoxy)methylsilane, was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Wistar rats. There were no significant clinical effects.

Acute dermal toxicity studies on the analogue substances, 3-chloropropyl(trimethoxy)silane (Hüls, 1993b) and 3-chloropropyl(triethoxy)silane (Dow Corning Corporation, 1995), are included in support of the read-across for the analogue group.

There are no acute inhalation studies on 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane or the analogue substances.

See Section 13 of IUCLID for the read-across justification reports.


Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available acute toxicity data, 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane is classified 'Acute Toxic 4 (oral)' with the hazard statements 'H302: Harmful if swallowed according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. No classification is required for the dermal and inhalation routes.
