Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Half-life for silicon containing constituents: <12 hours at 25°C and pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Hydrolysis is not a required endpoint at Annex VII. All silicon-containing constituents of the substances are known to hydrolyse rapidly:

- Acetoxy groups hydrolyse very rapidly (half-life <1 min at pH 4, 7 and 9) to give a silanol (Si-OH) group.

- Methoxy groups hydrolyse rapidly (half-life minutes - a few hours at pH 4, 7 and 9) to give a silanol (Si-OH) group.

- Siloxane groups (Si-O-Si) in the acetoxy/methoxy disiloxane constituents will hydrolyse rapidly, after the acetoxy/methoxy groups, to form monomeric silanols.

All silicon-containing constituents have predicted half-lives of <12 hours at 20 - 25°C and pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9. The ultimate hydrolysis products of all silicon containing constituents are vinylsilanetriol and 3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]silanetriol.
