Ecological Specifications
The preparation has not been tested ecologically. The test results below apply to the following
materials contained in the product.
Name: Inorganic silicate
Eco-toxicological effect
Fish: 96h-LC50 (Brachydaio rerio,OECD no.203):
3185 mg/1 (ph < 10.3) (Lit.)
Lower effect threshold (NOEL)
(Brachydanio rerio) : >=1000 mg/l (Lit.)
96h-LC50 (Lepomis macrochirus): > 301 mg/l (Lit.)
Daphnia: 96h-EC50 (Daphnia magna) :>216 mg/l (Lit.)
100h-EC50 (Daphnia magna): 247 mg/l (Lit.)
Bacteria: 30 min-EC0 (Pseudomonas putida, OECD no. 209) :>1000
mg /l (Lit.)
18h-EC0 (Daphnia magna):>10000 mg/l (pH 6.88) (Lit.)
18h-ECO (Daphnia magna):>l000 mg /l (pH > 9)
(Lit. )
Behavior in the environment:
Non-biological degradation : Hydrolyzed in an aqueous solution with a ph value of < 9
The silicate is 120 mg/l at this pH.
Biological degradation: Not applicable (inorganic product)
Bio-accumulation: No danger of bio-accumulation.
Silicon compounds such as silicates are metabolically
used by algae and plants without being accumulated.
Miscellaneous: The information on endangering water organisms is
caused by the increase in pH value.
If the product is not neutralized, it can become toxic to
water organisms due to its basicity.
