Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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), see table below. Due to the moderate to slow rate of hydrolysis of the parent substance, the distribution calculation is done for the registration substance and its silanol hydrolysis product.

Bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]polysulfides hydrolyses at a moderate to slow rate in contact with water to form ethanol and bis[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]polysulfides. The constituents are not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation and are predicted to have 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.

 

For the silanol hydrolysis products, they are predicted to have very low Henry's Law constant, low log Kow/log Koc. Therefore, water is the main compartment to which the silanol hydrolysis products are expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant.
