Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
OECD evaluated the available test data on Na-Al-silicate. For repeated dose toxicity via the oral route, two unpublished subacute studies were evaluated. OECD ranked the reliability of the study as 2: Meets generally accepted scientific standards, sufficiently documented, acceptable for assessment.
GLP compliance:
no
Limit test:
no

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, treatment-related
Details on results:
The body weight of the male rats in the 10% feeding group was significantly reduced (-39%). No substance-related clinical findings were observed at any dose levels.

Effect levels

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
ca. 2 500 mg/kg bw/day (nominal)
Basis for effect level:
other: Body weight gain

Target system / organ toxicity

Critical effects observed:
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
No adverse effects could be demonstrated after oral application, except at very high doses. OECD SIDS conclusions: after oral application an overall NOAEL of approximately 2500 mg/kg bw can be established.
Executive summary:

OECD (2004) evaluated the available test data on Na-Al-silicate. For repeated dose toxicity via the oral route, two unpublished subacute studies (14 days feeding studies in rats and mice) were evaluated. No adverse effects could be demonstrated after oral application, except at very high doses, when the body-weight gain in male rats was significantly reduced (-39%). OECD SIDS conclusions: after oral application an overall NOAEL of approximately 2500 mg/kg bw can be established.
