Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2), see table below. The distribution calculation is done for the parent substance, 4,4,7,7-tetraethoxy-3,8-dioxa-4,7-disiladecane.
Table: Distribution modelling for STP

Fraction of emission directed to water by STP |

Fraction of emission directed to sludge by STP |

Fraction of the emission degraded in STP |

4,4,7,7-tetraethoxy-3,8-dioxa-4,7-disiladecane hydrolyses moderately to 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexahydroxy-1,4-silabutane and ethanol.
Ethanol is readily biodegradable. 1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexahydroxy-1,4-silabutane is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation and is predicted to have low Henry’s Law constant and low log Kow/log Koc.
Distribution modelling for STP indicates that water is the main compartment to which 4,4,7,7-tetraethoxy-3,8-dioxa-4,7-disiladecane is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant. Water is also likely to be the main compartment to which 4,4,7,7-tetraethoxy-3,8-dioxa-4,7-disiladecane will partition in the wider environment.
Additional information
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.
