Description of key information

3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate is a liquid at standard temperature and pressure, with a measured melting point of <-150°C, and a predicted boiling point of 290°C at 1013 hPa. It has a predicted density of 0.97 g/cm3 at 20°C and a predicted vapour pressure of 0.05 Pa at 25°C.

The substance is not classified for flammability according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 on the basis of a flash point of 101°C and a predicted boiling point of 290°C at 1013 hPa. It has a measured auto-ignition temperature of 260 ± 3°C at 1013 hPa, and is not explosive and not oxidising on the basis of structural examination.

In contact with water, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate reacts moderately rapidly (half-life of 0.6 hours at pH 4, 23.9 hours at pH 7, 0.3 hours at pH 9 and 20-25°C) to produce 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and ethanol according to the following equation:

H2C=C(CH3)C(=O)O(CH2)3Si(OCH3CH2)3+ 3H2O → H2C=C(CH3)CO2(CH2)3Si(OH)+ 3CH3CH2OH

 

3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate has a predicted log Kow value of 3.6 at 20°C and predicted water solubility value of 63 mg/l at 20°C.

Ethanol is miscible with water, has low log Kow (-0.3) and high vapour pressure (7910 Pa at 25°C).

 

The saturation concentration in water of the silanol hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl methacrylate is limited by condensation reactions to approximately 1000 mg/l. However, it is very hydrophilic (calculated solubility is 1E+06 mg/l using a QSAR method) with a predicted low log Kow value of -0.9. It is not surface active and it is much less volatile than the parent substance (vapour pressure = 1.2E-05 Pa at 25°C, predicted).
