Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
adsorption / desorption: screening
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because the substance has a low octanol water partition coefficient and the adsorption potential of this substance is related to this parameter

Description of key information

The log Koc was not determined because the registered (parent) substance 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea

- has a low potential for adsorption based on its low log Kow (< 3.0)

and

- hydrolyses rapidly under environmentally relevant conditions (DT50 < 10 min).

 

Therefore, the transformation products trimethylsilanol (CAS No. 1066-40-6) and urea (CAS No. 57-13-6) are considered the relevant assessment entities for the environmental hazard and risk assessment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The registered (parent) substance 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea has a low log Kow of 2.72 (OECD 117, HPLC) and therefore has a low potential for adsorption. Furthermore, it hydrolyses rapidly under environmentally relevant conditions (DT50 < 10 min at pH 4, 7 and 9, 20 °C, OECD 111) and forms the silanol hydrolysis product trimethylsilanol (CAS No. 1066-40-6) and urea (CAS No. 57-13-6), which are considered the relevant assessment entities for the environmental hazard and risk assessment according to Guidance R.16 (ECHA, 2016).
