Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Executive summary:

One study is available from structural analogue dimethoxy(diphenyl)silane CAS 6843 -66 -9. It is concluded that dimethoxy(diphenyl)silane and triethoxy(phenyl)silane are not skin sensitising. As explained in the justification for type of information, the differences in molecular structure between the target and the source are unlikely to lead to differences in the skin sensitising potential that are higher than the typical experimental error of the test method.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

No studies were available to assess the skin sensitisation potential of triethoxy(phenyl)silane (CAS: 780-69-8), however, data are available for the structurally related substance dimethoxy(diphenyl)silane (CAS: 6843-66-9). Both substances are moisture sensitive liquids that hydrolyse to produce hydrolysis products which are also structurally similar. Triethoxy(phenyl)silane produces ethanol and phenylsilanetriol, while dimethoxy(diphenyl)silane produces methanol and diphenylsilanediol. Therefore, it is considered that read-across between the substances is appropriate. Neither methanol nor ethanol is sensitising in standard test species for REACH endpoints and are therefore not taken into account for further assessment of this endpoint.

Details on read across justifications can be found in the attached justification in the respective target entry and in the overall justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.

 

In the key study to assess skin sensitization a Buehler test according OECD TG 406 and in compliance with GLP was performed (Eisele, 1995c, RL2). Female Dunkin Hartley guinea pigs were treated (20/10 control/test group) thrice with 300 µl of the analogue substance dimethoxydiphenylsilane every 7 days during the induction period. The test substance was applied undiluted for 6 hours under occlusive conditions. In a pretest the substance was found to be not irritating when applied undiluted. Two weeks after the last induction one challenge was performed in the same way as the induction procedure. 30 and 52 hours after the beginning of the challenge the skin reactions were scored. No reactions were observed at any time point and in any animal. In conclusion, the test substance is considered not to be a skin sensitizer under the applied conditions.

Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin sensitisation of the registered substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
