Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2/Chesar 3). As the parent substance hydrolyses very rapidly, the distribution calculation is done for the hydrolysis products, tris(1-methylethyl)silanol and acrylic acid. In practice there is no direct release of the substance or its hydrolysis product to waste water.

Tri(isopropyl)silyl acrylate hydrolyses rapidly to tris(1-methylethyl)silanol and acrylic acid. Tris(1-methylethyl)silanol is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation, and is predicted to have low Henry’s Law constant. Distribution modelling for STP indicates that water is the main compartment to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant. Water is also likely to be the main compartment to which tris(1-methylethyl)silanol will partition in the wider environment. For acrylic acid, water is also expected to be the main compartment to which it is expected to partition.
