Description of key information
Additional information
Trimethoxyphenylsilane (CAS No. 2996 -92 -1) hydrolyses rapidly in contact with water (DT50 = 0.4 h, OECD 111) to phenylsilanetriol (CAS No. 3047 -74 -3) and methanol (CAS No. 67 -56 -1). The ECHA guidance R.16 states that “for substances where hydrolytic DT50 is less than 12 h, environmental effects are likely to be attributed to the hydrolysis product rather than to the parent itself” (ECHA, 2016). The ECHA guidance R.16 also suggests that in cases where the hydrolysis half-life is less than 12 h, the breakdown products, rather than the parent substance, should be evaluated for aquatic toxicity. Thus, the environmental fate assessment in this dossier is based on the hydrolysis products phenylsilanetriol and methanol.
Phenylsilanetriol
Phenylsilanetriol is characterized by a high, estimated water solubility of 1.0E+06 mg/l at 20°C (QSAR) and a low potential for volatilization from water (Henry's Law Constant = 4.0 E-09 Pa m3mol-1at 12°C and estimated vapour pressure = 5.3E-05 Pa at 25°C). There is no evidence for any significant biodegradation. However, its potential for bioaccumulation and its affinity to soil and sediment is low based on its low log Kow (-0.021 at pH 7, OECD 107) and its estimated log Koc (1, QSAR), respectively.
Methanol
The main target compartment of environmental methanol is air (73%) and water (16%) based on fugacity model calculations. Methanol is miscible with water at 20 °C, does not undergo hydrolysis and volatilization is not a significant removal process from the aquatic compartment (HLC = 0.461 Pa m3/mol, VP = 128 hPa). However, methanol is readily biodegradable and has a low potential for bioaccumulation (log Kow = -0.74). Its toxicity toward aquatic organisms is low, with acute toxicity values of well above 1000 mg/L. Overall, methanol is considered to have a low environmental hazard profile.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
