Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

No data are available for trichloro(vinyl)silane. A 48-h EC50 value of 168.7 mg/l has however been determined for the effects of a read-across substance, Trimethoxyvinylsilane (2768 -02 -7), on mobility of Daphnia magna. A NOEC was not determined in the test. It is likely that the test organisms were primarily exposed to the hydrolysis products of the substance. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No test data are available for Trichloro(vinyl)silane (CAS 75-94-5). Reliable data for short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates are however available for the read-across substance, Trimethoxyvinylsilane (CAS 2768-02-7). Trimethoxyvinylsilane and Trichloro(vinyl)silane both hydrolyse to vinylsilanetriol. The hydrolysis half-lives of Trichloro(vinyl)silane and Trimethoxy(vinyl)silane indicate that, under conditions relevant to ecotoxicity assessment, both will hydrolyse to vinylsilentriol over the course of the test. The other hydrolysis products are hydrogen chloride and methanol, respectively; the properties of these substances are well characterised. Methanol is non-toxic to the environment and it is considered unlikely that it’s presence significantly affected the results of the test performed with trimethoxy(vinyl)silane. The effects of hydrogen chloride on aquatic organisms are limited to those that result from changes to pH in unbuffered media.
