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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 241-881-3 | CAS number: 17955-88-3
Toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Short-term toxicity to algae: 72-h ErC50 >21.6 μg/l and NOEC: ≥21.6 μg/l (geometric mean measured, highest concentration tested) in accordance with OECD guideline 201.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
There are no toxicity to aquatic algae data available for 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyl-3-octyltrisiloxane (CAS 17955-88-3), therefore good quality data for an appropriate structural analogue, 3-hexyl heptamethyltrisiloxane (CAS 1873-90-1), have been read across. A 72-hour ErC50 value of >21.6 μg/l and NOEC of ≥21.6 μg/l (>LoS) (highest concentration tested) have been determined for the effects of 3-hexyl heptamethyltrisiloxane on growth rate of Selenastrum capricornutum. The results have been obtained under static test conditions and are expressed relative to geometric mean measured concentrations of the substance.
In view of the use of static test conditions, it is likely that the test organisms were exposed primarily to the parent substance at the beginning of the test, then to the hydrolysis products as the test progressed and the pH increased.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
