Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The key skin irritatation/corrosion study (Allied Signal, 1995) was conducted following a method that was similar to OECD 404. Trichloro (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was determined to be corrosive to rabbit skin following a three minute exposure to the neat test substance. Based on the outcome of the skin study, in accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the in vivo eye irritation study is not required. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (corrosive)

Eye irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Respiratory irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (irritating)

Additional information

The key skin irritation/corrosion study is the only available study for that endpoint. Trichloro (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane was determined to be corrosive to rabbit skin following a three minute exposure to the neat test substance.


Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: corrosive

Effects on eye irritation: corrosive

Effects on respiratory irritation: highly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available in vivo skin study, Trichloro (2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)silane is classified R35 "Corrosive" according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and "Skin Corr. 1A" under Regulation 1272/2008.

Consistent with other chlorosilanes, the additional classification of EUH0 71 "Corrosive to respiratory tract" is also proposed.
