Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

A reliable activated sludge respiration inhibition test is available with the registration substance and is selected as the key study. The study was conducted according to OECD method 209, and gives an EC50 of >1000 and NOEC of ≥1000 mg/L. The constituents of the registration substance hydrolyse rapidly (half-life <12 hours at pH 7 and 25°C) to [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]silanetriol, vinylsilanetriol, acetic acid/acetates and methanol.

In view of the test media preparation method/exposure regime it is likely that the test organisms were exposed predominantly to the hydrolysis products of the tested substance. It is not feasible or necessary to reinterpret this test result in terms of the silanol hydrolysis products.

Methanol does not have adverse effects on microorganisms (OECD, 2004).

Acetic acid does not have adverse effects on microorganisms (sodium acetate is frequently used as the control in biodegradation studies) (OECD 1992).
