Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Dissociation constant [potassium methylsilanetriolate in aqueous solution]: not relevant
Dissociation constant (methylsilanetriol): ca. 10

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

It is not considered technically feasible to measure the dissociation constant of potassium methylsilanetriolate because it is only stable in aqueous solution at high pH (the pH of the commercial product is >12).

There are no reliable measured data for the dissociation constant of methylsilanetriol. The typical dissociation constants for the hydroxyl protons of silanetriols are available from studies in other silanetriols. It is appropriate to read-across dissociation constant data for methylsilanetriol from phenylsilanetriol. This suggests that silanols are not expected to undergo significant dissociation within the range of pH relevant in the environment or in vivo. Methylsilanetriol has a measured first dissociation constant of ca.10 in a reliable study using a relevant test method, (reliability 1; read-across conclusion is given reliability 2). Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA 2013b) attached in Section 13 of the REACH technical dossier.
