Description of key information

The registration substance is a UVCB substance containing many constituents, the constituents of the substance are methoxy-, ethoxy- or mixed methoxy/ethoxy silanes and methanol/ethanol.

Since the registration substance is a UVCB substance, two aspects need to be considered in relation to physicochemical properties:

1) In the context of raw material handling and safe use, it is important to understand the properties of the product/substance as a whole as discussed below:

The substance is a liquid at room temperature and pressure, with a measured melting point of <-180°C at 1013 hPa and a measured boiling point of 101°C at 1013 hPa. It has a measured relative density of 0.998 at 22.1°C and a measured kinematic viscosity value of 1.77 mm2/s at 25°C. A calculated vapour pressure of 1200 Pa at 25°C is used for assessment purposes; this value determined for the whole substance based on predicted vapour pressures for individual constituents and the mole fraction of each constituent in the substance.

 

The substance is classified for flammability (Flammable Liquid Category 2) according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, on the basis of a measured flash point of 8°C at 1013 hPa and boiling point of 101°C at 1013 hPa. It has a measured auto-ignition temperature of 270°C at 1023.3-1035 hPa, and is not explosive and not oxidising on the basis of examination of the structure. Also, none of the constituents of the substance are expected to be surface active.

2) For the purposes of assessing environmental fate and behaviour, in the environment, individual constituents may behave independently of each other. It is therefore essential to consider the properties of individual constituents and a whole property data may have no real scientific meaning or significance.

The properties of the constituents have been measured or estimated using appropriate methods. In solution, the amine groups present in some of the constituents will protonate; therefore, the estimated log Kow values for the unionised form of the constituents were corrected for ionisation using the equation CORR = 1/1 +10A(pH-pKa) [where A = 1 for acids, -1 for bases; pH = pH-value of the environment; pKa = acid/base dissociation constant].

Where there is more than one constituent within a constituent Block, the weighted average of the constituents in the Block was calculated and the calculated weighted average used for the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA).

The pKa values for the alkylamine groups are estimated as approximately 10, therefore, the ionised (protonated) form predominates at environmentally relevant pH values.

The key physicochemical data for each constituent and the weighted average for each constituent Block where relevant are reported in the table below.

In contact with water, all of the constituents of the registration substance undergo moderate to rapid hydrolysis to produce their corresponding silanol hydrolysis products and methanol/ethanol. The constituents of the substance are methoxy-, ethoxy- or mixed methoxy/ethoxy silanes. The alkoxysilane groups are susceptible to hydrolysis, producing silanols and ethanol and/or methanol.

The hydrolysis products for each constituent blocks are reported below:

Constituents A: methylsilanetriol (1 mole, Silanol HP-X) and methanol/ethanol (3 moles)

Constituents B: (3-aminopropyl)silanetriol (1 mole, Silanol HP-Z) and methanol/ethanol (3 moles)

Constituents C: disilyl(alkylamine)-heptol (1 mole, Silanol HP-Y) and methanol/ethanol (5 moles)

Constituents D: disilyl(alkylamine)-heptol (1 mole, Silanol HP-Y), methylsilanetriol (1 mole, Silanol HP-X) and methanol/ethanol (8 moles)

Constituents E: trisilyl(alkylamine)-undecol (1 mole, Silanol HP-W), methylsilanetriol (1 mole, Silanol HP-X) and methanol/ethanol (10 moles)

Constituents F: trisilyl(alkylamine)-undecol (1 mole, Silanol HP-W), methylsilanetriol (2 moles, Silanol HP-X) and methanol/ethanol (13 moles)

Constituents G: methylsilanetriol (2 moles, Silanol HP-X) and methanol/ethanol (4 moles)

Therefore, due to the moderate to rapid hydrolysis of the constituents of the substance, the properties of the silanol hydrolysis products are also assessed and are reported in the table below.

The saturation concentrations in water of the silanol hydrolysis products are limited by condensation reactions that can occur over time at loadings at or below 100 mg/L. However, the silanol hydrolysis products are very hydrophilic; predicted key physicochemical results for the silanol hydrolysis products are reported in the table above.

The silanol hydrolysis products are not expected to be surface active.

Methanol is miscible with water, has low log Kow (-0.82 to -0.64) and high vapour pressure (12790 Pa at 20°C) (OECD 2004a).

Similarly, ethanol is miscible with water, has low log Kow (-0.3) and high vapour pressure (7910 Pa at 25°C).
