Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
The behaviour of 2,4,6,8,10-pentamethylcyclopentasiloxane is dominated by hydrolysis (and condensation) reactions. On the basis of available data, the ultimate hydrolysis product relevant to the CAS is methylsilanetriol. This substance has very low volatility, low adsorption potential and is not expected to biodegrade. Therefore, any substance released to the environment is, under steady state conditions, expected to hydrolyse rapidly. At low concentrations, methylsilanetriol is expected to form and this is expected to be found in the aquatic compartment; it will degrade slowly via abiotic pathways. Over the long-term, further degradation in the environment, e.g. to silicate, is thought on grounds of chemical properties, to be possible.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
