Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adsorption/desorption: Log Koc values for the parent substance: 4.0 (KOCWIN MCI prediction method); 2.9 (TGD non-hydrophobics Kow prediction method). 
The results are considered to be reliable. Environmental exposure assessment will be carried out using each value, to assess the impact of any uncertainty in the predictions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Adsorption has been estimated using two separate estimation methodologies: (1) KOCWIN (version 2) estimation using first-order Molecular Connectivity Index (MCI) and (2) estimation based on log Kow using TGD (Technical Guidance Document) non-hydrophobics equation. Kocpredictions based on log Kow and on MCI are both presented as neither method had been validated fully for this class of substance. The significance of the uncertainty in the Koc values predicted will be examined in the exposure assessment for this substance.

Triethoxyisobutylsilane hydrolyses in contact with water to the corresponding silanol and ethanol,which have low log Kow values (<3) and thus have low potential for adsorption. Therefore, in accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the adsorption/desorption screening test does not need to be conducted for the silanol hydrolysis products.
