Description of key information
Additional information
Abiotic degradation
Trimethoxy(octyl)silane is expected to hydrolyse rapidly (half-life at 20-25°C approximately 4 h at pH 7, 0.2 at pH 4 and 0.1 at pH 9; see Section 4.1.1.1). A half-life of 1.3 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for trimethoxy(octyl)silane.
The hydrolysis products are expected to be octylsilanetriol and methanol. A half-life of 0.8 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for octylsilanetriol.
Biotic degradation
Based on read-across from an analogous substance, no significant biodegradation of the silanol hydrolysis product, octylsilanetriol, is expected.
The chemical safety assessment indicates that it is not necessary to obtain further information on biodegradation via simulation tests in water, sediment or soil.
Table 4.1.5 Degradation rates
Degradation rate in water: |
Hydrolysis half-life: approximately 4 h at 20-25°C (predicted). No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product. |
Degradation rate in sediment: |
Hydrolysis may occur (hydrolysis half-life in water approximately 4 h at 20-25°C (predicted)). No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product. |
Degradation rate in soil: |
Hydrolysis may occur (hydrolysis half-life in water approximately 4 h at 20-25°C (predicted)). No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product. |
Degradation rate in air: |
Half-life for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air of the parent substance: 1.3 days (calculated). Half-life for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air of silanol hydrolysis product: 0.8 days (calculated). |
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.
