Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Reliable short-term toxicity data are available with the registration substance, N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine (CAS 1760-24-3, EC 217-164-6) for freshwater fish (Danio rerio), invertebrates (Daphnia magna) and algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). Reliable long-term aquatic toxicity data are available for freshwater invertebrates (Daphnia magna) and algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata). The relevant short-term values are:

Fish: LC50 (96 h): 484 mg/l, expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine

Daphnia: EC50 (48 h): 66 mg/l, expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine

Algae: ErC50 (72 h): 7.2 mg/l, expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine

The relevant long-term values are:

Daphnia: NOEC (21 d): ≥0.81 mg/l, expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine

Algae: NOErC (72 h): 2.5 mg/l, expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine

The aquatic toxicity studies were conducted at pH 8 and above in many cases. The neutral form of the amine, i.e. the un-ionised form, is more toxic than the ionised form. This pattern of toxicity is consistent with ammonia, where the un-ionised form, NH3, is more toxic than the ionised form, NH4+. The difference in toxicity is due to bioavailability, where the un-ionised form can cross cell membranes more readily than the ionised form. Therefore, for waters having a pH closer to 7 it is likely that the study results overestimate the toxicity of the registered substance.

Reliable toxicity to aquatic microorganisms data are available for the registration substance:

Toxicity to microorganisms: EC50 (16 h): 54 mg/l and EC10 (16 h) 20 mg/l (Pseudomonas putida), expressed in terms of the concentration of the silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine.
