Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Additional information

D3 hydrolyses with a hydrolysis half-life of less than 12 hours. Therefore, the environmental hazard assessment, including sediment and soil compartments due to water and moisture being present, is based on the properties of the silanol hydrolysis products in accordance with REACH guidance for Chemical Safety Assessment (Chapter R16). Quantitative environmental risk assessment is based on the intermediate and final hydrolysis products, 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltrisiloxane-1,5-diol (CAS 3663-50-1; EC No. 222-920-3; L3-diol) and dimethylsilanediol (DMSD, CAS 1066-42-8; EC No. 213-915-7) respectively (refer to Section 6).

DMSD is the final product of hydrolysis reactions under conditions of a hydrolysis laboratory study, however, other biotic or abiotic reactions may occur over longer time-scales in the environment.
