Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
No sensitisation data are available for the registered substance, therefore this endpoint is addressed by read-across from a related substance. The key skin sensitisation study is a reliable adjuvant study conducted according to OECD 406 on a closely related material. The study identified a sensitisation index of 5% (EU criteria for sensitisation by skin contact would require a positive response in at least 30% of the test group).

- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- from 19 September 2000 to 21 October 2000
- Reliability:

*Skin reactions were graded:
0 no reaction or very slight dispersed redness. No swelling.
1 slight patchy or confluent erythema
2 moderate and confluent erythema and/or slight swelling
3 severe erythema and/or moderate to severe swelling
** Sensitization incidence index: number of animals with dermal scores greater than those of the negative control group at 24h or 48h, divided by the number of animals tested. Grades of 1 or greater are considered indicative of sensitization in the positive control group
*** Severity index: the sum of test grades divided by the number of animals tested (given for 24h and 48h observations separately)
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
The registered substance is a reaction mixture comprising approximately 60% w/w of 4,4,13,13 -tetraethoxy-3,14-dioxa-8,9-dithia-4,13-disilahexadecane (S2 constituent) and 40% w/w of 3,15-Dioxa-8,9,10-trithia-4,14-disilaheptadecane,4,4,14,14-tetraethoxy- (S3 constituent).
Skin sensitisation data for this substance were obtained by read-across from a closely related substance polysulfides, bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl] (CAS 211519-85-6), which is a reaction mass containing principally the S2 (15-60%), S3 (25-40%) and S4 (5-30%) constituents. For this purpose only the key study has been incorporated. The key study was a guideline study (reliability 1).
It is considered appropriate to use these surrogate data since the mixed product gave a clear negative result and there is no reason to expect a positive result from different proportions of constituents.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available read-across data do not support classification for skin sensitization according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
