Name:
4,4,13,13-Tetraethoxy-3,14-dioxa-8,9-dithia-4,13-disilahexadecane
Type of composition:
boundary composition of the substance
State / form:
liquid
Reference substance:
4,4,13,13-Tetraethoxy-3,14-dioxa-8,9-dithia-4,13-disilahexadecane
PBT status:
the substance is not PBT / vPvB
Justification:

The assessed substance, ethanol, is the non-silanol hydrolysis product of the submission substance.

 

The submission substance hydrolyses moderately in contact with water to form the silanol hydrolysis product and ethanol.

 

Ethanol is readily biodegradable, hence does not persist in the environment; therefore, ethanol should not be concluded as PBT or vPvB.
