Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

- 0.3
- at the temperature of:
- 12 °C
Additional information
Tetramethyl orthosilicate hydrolyses rapidly (t1/2 = < 1 h at pH 7and 25°C) to (poly)silicic acid and methanol. (Poly)silicic acid is an inorganic substance with a negligible vapour pressure, which enters natural biogeochemical cycles for silicon. Therefore, volatilisation from water is not a relevant process. Methanol is expected to biodegrade fast. The HLC for ethanol can be estimated from the ratio of the vapour pressure (VP) to the water solubility (WS). HLC = (VP x MW)/WS where MW is molecular weight. The calculated HLC value for methanol at environmental temperature (12°C) is 0.3 Pa.m3.mol-1 (taken from EUSES 2.1.2). This indicates some potential to evaporate from water.
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.
