Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The limit test via both oral and dermal route shows no evidence of toxicity until 2000 mg/kg bw.

The in vivo tests were all performed in 2007.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Well performed and exhaustive study

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Well performed and exhaustive study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Myristyl Trisiloxane doesen't show any evidence of toxicity in all limit tests. The limit tests via oral and dermal doesen't show any evince of toxicity until 2000 mg/kg bw; therefore, based on REGULATION (EC) No 1272/2008 no classification is required.

Even though there is no studies for the assessment of respiratory toxicity, it can be assumed that absorption via airways cannot be higher compared to both oral and dermal administration. Therefore, as there is no evidence of toxicity by both oral and dermal route, it can be concluded that also the respiratory tract is not raising furtyer concern.
