Description of key information
Additional information
The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2), see table below.

Hexamethyldisiloxane is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation, has very high Henry’s Law constant and high log Kow/log Koc. Therefore air is the main compartment to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant. Some partition to sewage sludge and water is expected, and therefore potentially to soil/sediment compartments in the environment.
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). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
