Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on REACH regulation ANNEX VII column II: The study does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of -20°C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Based on REACH regulation ANNEX VII column II: The study does not need to be conducted below a lower limit of -20°C.

Similar substance having a chain length with 8 carbon atoms has a melting point -62°C. Even though, the actual melting point for Myristil trisiloxane (12 carbon atoms) may be higher, it will never be higher than -20°C, which is the threshold for waiving accepted by Annex VII of REACH. The submitted supported study, demonstrates that the melting point of a similar trisiloxanes is much lower than -20°C
