Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Water solubility (silanol hydrolysis product) = 760,000 mg/L at 20°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The requirement to test the substance for water solubility is waived because in contact with water the substance rapidly hydrolyses to form methylsilanediol and hydrogen chloride. The Log Kow of the silanol hydrolysis product has been calculated using a validated QSAR. The silanolhas a very high predicted water solubilty of 760,000 mg/l at 20°C; however, in practice the substance will undergo condensation reactions and not reach this concentration. The submission substance hydrolyses very rapidly so the water solubility of the hydrolysis product is considered more relevant for regulatory purposes than the water solubility of the submission substance.
