Reaction causes the formation of: methanol . 10.3 Hazardous decomposition products: Methanol is released upon contact with water. (in small amounts) Measurements have shown the formation of small amounts of formaldehyde at temperatures above about 150 °C (302 °F) through oxidation. 10.4 Further information: Hazardous polymerization cannot occur. 11 Toxicological information 11.1 General information: Toxicological testing has been conducted with this material. 11.2 Toxicological data: Acute toxicity (LD50/LC50-values relevant to classification): Exposition Value/value range Species Source oral > 34600 mg/kg rat dermal > 10200 mg/kg rabbit by inhalation > 1.9 mg/l/4h (spray / dust) rat test report Primary irritation: Exposition Effect Species/Testsystem Source to skin mildly irritating rabbit to eyes mildly irritating rabbit Sensitization: Exposition Effect Test method Species Source to skin not sensitizing Skin Sensitization guinea-pig Reference points for mutagenic (carcinogenic) potential: Test system Effect Source Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test not mutagenic Additional information / remarks: Oral toxicity: Large oral doses (1600 mg/day for 14 days) of OMCTS/D4 caused an increase in the number of liver cells (hyperplasia) in laboratory rats. Ingestion of OMCTS/D4 is not expected in industrial use. Ingestion of methanol or methanol releasing compounds may result in delayed damage to the optic nerves, causing permanent blindness, and if untreated may cause other potentially fatal toxic effects. Inhalation toxicity: Two groups of five male and five female albino Sprague rats were exposed for 4 hours, using whole-body exposure methods to aerosol concentrations of 1.2 and 1.9 mg/l of Release Agent E155 (an amino-functional siloxane material). The maximum obtainable concentration was 1.9 mg/l. The 4-hour LC50 was considered to be greater than 1.9 mg/l. If concentrations higher than 1.9 mg/l could be generated and extrapolated upward from the two available datapoints, the 4-hour LC50 would be approximately 4 mg/l. No deaths occurred during testing at this exposure level. Since there were no mortalities an LD50 cannot be assigned, but it would have to be greater than the tested exposure. Material Safety Data Sheet Material: 70702235 E155 RELEASE AGENT Version: 1.11 (US) Date of print: 06/07/2007 Date of last alteration: 04/05/2007 Page: 7/10 Toxicity to reproduction/fertility: In a female rat gender-specific range finding study (inhalation exposure) with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS/D4), decreases in mean live litter size and in the number of implantation sites were seen at the 700 ppm exposure level. In a two generation reproductive study with rats, decreased mean live litter size and prolonged labor (dystocia) were observed at the 500 and 700 ppm exposure levels. These same effects were not seen at the lower dose levels of 70 and 300 ppm. Previous inhalation developmental studies did not show birth defects at doses ranging up to 700 ppm in rats and 500 ppm in rabbits. The significance of these effects in humans can not be determined at this time. However, because these effects are only seen at very high exposure levels, it is unlikely that industrial, commercial and consumer uses of products containing OMCTS/D4 would result in a sign ificant risk to humans. In a two generation reproductive study via inhalation with OMCTS/D4 in rats, decreased mean live litter size and prolonged labor (dystocia) were observed at the 500 ppm and 700 ppm exposure levels. These same effects were not seen at the lower dose levels of 70 ppm and 300 ppm. Previous inhalation developmental studies did not show birth defects at doses ranging up to 700 ppm in rats and 500 ppm in rabbits. Because these effects are only seen at very high exposure levels, it is unlikely that industrial, commercial and/or consumer uses of products containing OMCTS/D4 would result in a significant risk to humans. Chronic toxicity / carcinogenicity: In a two year combined chronic toxicity and carcinogenicity inhalation study with octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (OMCTS/D4) in rats, an increased incidence of (uterine) endometrial cell hyperplasia and endometrial adenomas were observed at the highest exposure level of 700 ppm in female rats. These same effects were not seen at the other dose levels of 10, 30, and 150 ppm. Since these effects only occurred at 700 ppm, a level that greatly exceeds typical workplace or consumer exposure, it is unlikely that industrial, commercial or consumer uses of products containing OMCTS/D4 would result in a significant risk to humans. Additional information / remarks: Inhalation toxicity: In a 90-day subchronic inhalation study with OMCTS/D4, female rats at the highest dose level of 300 ppm showed a reversible increase in liver and ovary weights. Rats exposed to inhalation concentrations of 5 ppm and 10 ppm, which are more typical of industrial exposure, did not show any toxic effects. Further studies in laboratory guinea pigs and rabbits have shown no liver effects due to D4 inhalation exposure. In a female rat gender-specific range finding study (inhalation exposure) with OMCTS/D4 decreases in mean live litter size and in the number of implantation sites were seen at the 700 ppm exposure level.
