Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
Trimethoxy(vinyl)silane is manufactured in a plants running a 5 shift process on approximately 300 days a year.

Over the course of 18 years 18 people have been in contact with the manufacturing process continuously without any indication of sensitization. An additional 24 people had been in contact with the substance during a 2 shift operational function. There is no evidence of any potential sensitization in the health files of all those individuals over the full manufacturing time.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
There is no evidence of any potential sensitization in the health files of all those individuals exposed to trimethoxy(vinyl)silane over many years of manufacturing.
