Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: Low potential for adsorption. Log Koc for silanol product = -0.2 (predicted).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The substance is a salt that is only stable in aqueous solution at high pH (>12). In solution at pH 9 or below and at low concentration (conditions relevant for the environment), methylsilanetriol will predominate. Methylsilanetriol has a low log Kow value (<3) and therefore has low potential for adsorption and the requirement for conducting an adsorption/desorption study is waived.

For environmental exposure assessment, adsorption is predicted for methylsilanetriol using the ‘non-hydrophobics’ log Kow based prediction method for log Koc developed by Sabljić and Güsten (1995) for the European Commission, and recommended in EU Guidance.

The relevant equation is:

Log Koc = 0.52 log Kow + 1.02

Therefore, log Koc for methylsilanetriol = -0.2.
