Irritant / corrosive response data:
No effects on cornea or iris have been observed in any animal and at any time point. Conjunctival redness was observed in all 3 animals 1 hour after treatment up to 72 hours after treatment, and was fully reversibly within 7 days. The scores for redness were the same in all animals, being 2 at the time points 1, 24, and 48 hours. After 72 hours the scores decreased to 1 in all 3 animals. In 2 out of 3 animals a chemosis score of 3 was observed 1 hours after treatment, decreased to 1 at the time points 24 and 48 h, and was fully reversible within 72 hours. In the third animal the chemosis score was 3 after 1 hour, 2 after 24 hours, and 1 after 48 and 72 hours. It was fully reversible within 7 days.
Other effects:
Remnants of the test substance were observed on the outside of the eyelids.
Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an eye irritation study according to OECD TG 405 and GLP (reliability score 1), only minor, transient eye irritation was observed following instillation of ureidopropyltrialkoxysilane, mixed methoxy and ethoxy esters in 3 rabbits. The scores of 0 for cornea and iris and the mean scores of 1.7 for conjunctivae and 0.9 for chemosis indicate that the test material would not be considered irritating to the eyes of rabbits.

Additional information

Studies were chosen as key when the available study was of relevance and of sufficient quality for classification, labelling and for risk assessment.

Skin irritation:

In a key skin irritation study, conducted in compliance with GLP and according to OECD TG 404, the test substance was not found to be corrosive or irritant (NOTOX, 1999). Treatment of 3 New Zealand White rabbits with 0.5 ml of the neat test substance for 4 h under semi-occlusive conditions provoked slight erythema (grade 1) but no edema reactions after 1 h in all 3 animals. The effects were fully reversible within 24 h. Therefore, mean values for erythema and edema over 24, 48, and 72 h was 0 for both endpoints. In conclusion, ureidopropyltrialkoxysilane, mixed methoxy and ethoxy esters is not irritant / corrosive under the conditions tested.

Eye irritation:

In an eye irritation study according to OECD TG 405 and GLP, only minor, transient eye irritation was observed following instillation of Ureidopropyltrialkoxysilane, mixed methoxy and ethoxy esters in 3 rabbits (NOTOX, 1999). The scores (mean over 24, 48, and 72 h) of 0 for cornea and iris and the mean scores of 1.7 for conjunctivae and 0.9 for chemosis indicate that the test material would not be considered irritating to the eyes of rabbits.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on skin and eye irritation of the registered substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
