Description of key information
Additional information
Abiotic degradation
[3-(2,3-Epoxypropoxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane is expected to hydrolyse rapidly (half-life 6.5 hours at pH 7 and 24.5°C). A half-life of 0.7 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane. However, reaction with water vapour, rather than photolysis, may be the primary degradation process in air.
The initial hydrolysis products are expected to be [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]silanetriol and methanol. Further hydrolysis of the epoxy group is likely to occur, at a slower rate.
Biotic degradation
A reliable ready biodegradation test is available for [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]trimethoxysilane, which indicates that it is not readily biodegradable, and no significant biodegradation in water of the hydrolysis product, [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]silanetriol, is expected.
The chemical safety assessment indicates that it is not necessary to obtain further information on biodegradation via simulation tests in water, sediment or soil.

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).
