Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

log Kow [N,N-bis(trimethylsilyl)aminopropylmethyldiethoxysilane]: not determinable due to very rapid hydrolysis in water

log Kow [3-(diethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine]: -0..5 at pH 7 and 20°C (QSAR)

log Kow [3-(dihydroxymethylsilyl)propylamine]: -4 at pH 7 and 20°C (QSAR)

log Kow [trimethylsilanol]: 1.1 at 20°C (QSAR)

log Kow [ethanol]: -0.3

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The requirement to conduct an n-octanol/water partition coefficient for the substance is waived because in contact with water, the substance hydrolyses very rapidly to form 3-(diethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine as an intermediate hydrolysis product and trimethylsilanol. The intermediate hydrolysis product, 3-(diethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine undergoes further hydrolysis to form 3-(dihydroxymethylsilyl)propylamine and ethanol.

 

A predicted log Kow value of 2.5 was determined for 3-(diethoxymethylsilyl)propylamine using a validated QSAR estimation method. This prediction refers to the unionised form of the substance. The amine group in the substance will protonate in solution; therefore the estimated log Kow for the unionised form was corrected for ionisation using the equation provided in the ECHA Guidance R.7a (2008). The corrected log Kow values at pH 2, pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 were -4, -3.5, -0.5 and 1.4 respectively.

 

Similarly, the unionised form of the silanol hydrolysis product; 3–(dihydroxymethylsilyl)propylamine has a predicted log Kow value of -0.9 using a validated QSAR estimation method. The corrected value at pH 2, pH 4 and pH 7 is -4, at pH 9, the log Kow is -1.9.

Trimethylsilanol also has a predicted log Kow value of 1.1 at 20°C using a validated QSAR estimation method.

 

Ethanol has a reported log Kow of -0.3 (Hansch et al 1995).
