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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Dissociation constant
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- dissociation constant
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because the substance is hydrolytically unstable (half-life less than 12 hours)

Description of key information
Dissociation constant [triethoxy(3-isocyanatopropyl)silane]: not relevant due to very rapid hydrolysis in contact with water
Dissociation constant [3-aminopopyl(triethoxy)silane] (RNH3+ → RNH2): pKa approximately 10
Dissociation constant [3-aminopropylsilanetriol] (triol group): pKa approximately 10
Dissociation constant [3-aminopropylsilanetriol] (amino group): pKa approximately 10
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The requirement to test the substance for dissociation constant is waived because in contact with water the substance hydrolyses very rapidly forming an intermediate hydrolysis product, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 919-30-2). The ultimate hydrolysis product under dilute conditions is 3-aminopropylsilanetriol (CAS 58160-99-9). Condensation of 3-aminopropylsilanetriol is important above 1000 mg/L (see water solubility section). The other products of hydrolysis are ethanol and carbon dioxide.
There are no reliable measured data for the dissociation constant of 3-aminopropylsilanetriol. The typical dissociation constants for the hydroxyl protons of silanetriols are available from studies in other silanetriols. It is appropriate to read-across dissociation constant data for 3-aminopropylsilanetriol (CAS 58160 -99 -9) from phenylsilanetriol (CAS 3047-74-3). This suggests that silanols are not expected to undergo significant dissociation within the range of pH relevant in the environment or in vivo. Phenylsilanetriol has a measured first dissociation constant approximately 10 in a reliable study using a relevant test method. Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA 2013b) attached in Section 13.
The amino group is basic. The pKa is not known but an indicative read-across substance would be ethanolamine. This has a basic pKa of 9.5 (Haynes and Lide 2010). The amino group present in 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane has a predicted basic pKa of 10.4. The read-across and the prediction are in agreement that the pKa of this group is approximately 10.
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).
