Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 20 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: The highest dose tested was 20 ml/kg bw, which is equivalent to approximately 18 g/kg bw
Mortality:
One male rat died on the second day post treatment.
Clinical signs:
other: During the first four hour period sluggishness, ataxia and rough coats were observed. Thereafter most of the rats recovered gradually, looking healthy by end of observation period.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination at autopsy revealed light, discoloured kidneys in all rats. No other treatment-related gross alterations were observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Tris(isopropenyloxy)(vinyl)silane has been tested according to OECD 401. The following clinical signs were observed after ten male and ten female Wistar rats were dosed with 20ml/kg bw: sluggishness; ataxia and rough coats. A single male died on the second day. It is concluded that the LD50 is greater than 20 ml/kg bw, which is equivalent to approximately 18000 mg/kg, based on a density of 0.9 g/cm³.
