Irritant / corrosive response data:
Severe corneal damage and iritis following instillation of 0.005 ml undiluted test substance, or 0.5 ml of a 5% or 15 % solution (in propylene glycol). Application of 0.5 ml of [presumably] 1 % produced moderate eye irritation. [The summary report is ambiguous and actually states: "moderate eye injury from 1% PG solution."

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In a non-guideline study described by two summary reports, triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane was severely irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
Executive summary:

Two summary reports describe an eye irritation study, similar to OECD Test Guideline 405, in rabbits exposed to triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane.

Triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane was applied undiluted (at 0.005, 0.02, 0.1 or 0.5 ml), or in propylene glycol (0.5 ml at 1, 5, 15 or 40%) to the eyes of groups of five rabbits. Observations were made immediately after treatment (without staining) and after 24 hours (stained with fluorescein).

An undiluted administration of 0.005 ml triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane caused severe corneal damage and iritis, as did 5% and 15% solutions. Moderate eye injury was observed following treatment with the 1% solution. An overall eye irritation grade of 9 was allocated to triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane (on a scale of 1 (trace or no injury from 0.5 ml undiluted) to 10).

Triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane was severely irritating to the eyes of rabbits.
