Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion on classification

The substance has reliable short-term E(L)C50 values, read across from an analogous substance on the basis of common hydrolysis product, of >245 mg/L in fish, >844 mg/L in aquatic invertebrates and >100 mg/L in algae. It has a reliable NOEC of ≥100 mg/L in algae.  

The substance hydrolyses very rapidly to hydrogen chloride and monosilicic acid.

Hydrogen chloride has a harmonised classification in Annex VI of Regulation No 1272/2008 and does not require classification for the environment.

The silanol hydrolysis product, monosilicic acid, has a log Kow <3 (-4) and is a naturally-occurring substance which is not harmful to aquatic organisms at relevant concentrations. All available studies with aquatic organisms report no effects at 100 mg/L in short-term toxicity studies (reference PFA 2013x). 

These data are consistent with the following classification under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (as amended) (CLP):

Acute toxicity: Not classified.

Chronic toxicity: Not classified.
