Toxicological Information
Component Toxicology Information This material contains methyltrimetoxysilane (MTMS) MTMS
was evaluated in a combined repeated-dose toxicity study that
included screening tests for reproductive and developmental
toxicity (OECD 422) Sprague-Dawley rats were treated (oral
route, corn oil as carrier) daily at dose levels of 0, 50, 250, and
1000 mg MTMS/kg body weight. Test article effects on organ
weight were limited to increased liver weight for both males and
females in the top two dose levels. Histomorphological findings
included increased hepatocellular hyperterophy (both sexes) and
increased periportal vacuola tion (females only) in the top two
dose levels. Thymus weight was decreased in males in the top
two dose groups. The thymus appeared normal
histomorphologically. Other test article related
histomorphological changes included increased incidence of
thyroid follicular cell hyperplasia/hypertrophy and severity in
male and females in the top two dose levels. There was also an
increased incidence of hyperplasia/hypertrophy, apoptosis, and
lymphocytic infiltration in the zona reticularis of the adrenal
glands in high-dose females and acanthocytosis in high-dose
males and females. Clinical pathology evaluations demonstrated
a marked prolongation in prothrombin time for males in the top
two dose levels. Marked elevation in blood platelet count was
observed in both males and females at the high dose.

Serum total protein was elevated in high-dose males and in
females from the top two dose levels. Serum total cholesterol
was elevated in females from the top two dose levels. There
were no test article related effects on any of the reproductive
and reproductive/developmental toxicity. Because this study is
considered to be a screening of repeated-dose and
reproductive/development toxicity, the results do not provide
sufficient information needed to interpret potential relevance to
human health and are not indicative of a specific toxicity. This
type of study is commonly used as a screening study to
determine whether further testing should be conducted.
Also, this study was conducted via the oral route of exposure,
which is not a typical route of exposure for either manufacturing
or end use applications of MTMS. A longer-term study by a
more relevant route of exposure (inhalation) is being conducted
to understand these preliminary findings.
Toxicology studies with laboratory animals and occupational
evaluations with humans have found limited evidence of birth
defects, low birth weights and delayed growth in offspring
resulting from repeated exposure to toluene during pregnancy.

possible. Vapor may form an explosive mixture with air. U.S. regulations may require
reporting releases of this material to the environment which exceed the reportable
quantity (refer to Chapter 15) to the National Response Centre at (800) 424-8802.
Disposal Considerations:
Material Disposal: Recover or recycle if possible. It is the responsibility of the waste generator to determine
the toxicity and physical properties of the material generated to determine the proper
waste classification and disposal methods in compliance with applicable regulations.
Container Disposal: Drain container thoroughly. After draining, vent in a safe place away from sparks and
fire. Residues may cause an explosion hazard. Do not puncture, cut or weld uncleaned
drums. Send to drum recoverer or metal reclaimer.
Local Legislation: Disposal should be in accordance with applicable regional, national, and local laws and
regulations.

Toxicological Information
Component Toxicology Information This material contains methyltrimetoxysilane (MTMS) MTMS
was evaluated in a combined repeated-dose toxicity study that
included screening tests for reproductive and developmental
toxicity (OECD 422) Sprague-Dawley rats were treated (oral
route, corn oil as carrier) daily at dose levels of 0, 50, 250, and
1000 mg MTMS/kg body weight. Test article effects on organ
weight were limited to increased liver weight for both males and
females in the top two dose levels. Histomorphological findings
included increased hepatocellular hyperterophy (both sexes) and
increased periportal vacuola tion (females only) in the top two
dose levels. Thymus weight was decreased in males in the top
two dose groups. The thymus appeared normal
histomorphologically. Other test article related
histomorphological changes included increased incidence of
thyroid follicular cell hyperplasia/hypertrophy and severity in
male and females in the top two dose levels. There was also an
increased incidence of hyperplasia/hypertrophy, apoptosis, and
lymphocytic infiltration in the zona reticularis of the adrenal
glands in high-dose females and acanthocytosis in high-dose
males and females. Clinical pathology evaluations demonstrated
a marked prolongation in prothrombin time for males in the top
two dose levels. Marked elevation in blood platelet count was
observed in both males and females at the high dose.

Serum total protein was elevated in high-dose males and in
females from the top two dose levels. Serum total cholesterol
was elevated in females from the top two dose levels. There
were no test article related effects on any of the reproductive
and reproductive/developmental toxicity. Because this study is
considered to be a screening of repeated-dose and
reproductive/development toxicity, the results do not provide
sufficient information needed to interpret potential relevance to
human health and are not indicative of a specific toxicity. This
type of study is commonly used as a screening study to
determine whether further testing should be conducted.
Also, this study was conducted via the oral route of exposure,
which is not a typical route of exposure for either manufacturing
or end use applications of MTMS. A longer-term study by a
more relevant route of exposure (inhalation) is being conducted
to understand these preliminary findings.
Toxicology studies with laboratory animals and occupational
evaluations with humans have found limited evidence of birth
defects, low birth weights and delayed growth in offspring
resulting from repeated exposure to toluene during pregnancy.

Liver: can cause liver damage.
Cardiovascular system: chronic abuse of similar materials has been associated
with irregular heart rhythms and cardiac arrest.
Auditory system: prolonged and repeated exposures to high concentrations have
resulted in hearing loss in rats. Solvent abuse and noise interaction in the work
environment may cause hearing loss.
Repeated inhalation exposure of toluene to animals caused histological changes
in the brain, degeneration of the heart tissue, and possible immune suppression.
Intentional abuse of toluene vapors has been linked to damage of brain, liver,
kidney and to death.
Mutagenicity: Not mutagenic
Carcinogenicity: Not carcinogenic in animal studies.
Material Carcinogenicity Classification
Toluene ACGIH Group A4; Not classifiable as a human carcinogen
Toluene IARC 3: Classification not possible from current data
Reproductive and Development
Toxicity: Causes foetoxicity in animals at doses which are maternally toxic.
Many case studies involving abuse during pregnancy indicate that toluene can
cause birth defects, growth retardation and learning difficulties.
There are occupational studies which report an association between inhalation
exposure to toluene and adverse effects on reproduction (including spontaneous
abortions and birth defects). The methodology of these studies and the reliability
of their results have been questions. In a study in rats, inhalation of toluene did
not have adverse effects on reproduction.
