Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Estimated Log Kow (Silanol hydrolysis product) = 0.288 at 20°C

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
0.29
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

The requirement to test the substance for octanol-water partition coefficient is waived because in contact with water the chlorosilanes which make up > 60% of the substance rapidly hydrolyse to form silanediols and hydrogen chloride. The Log Kow of the silanol hydrolysis products have been calculated using a recognised calculation method. The values obtained are 3 (2 -methylbutane), 2.7 (tetramethysilane), 0.6 (dimethylsilanol), -2.9 (silanetriol), -1 (methylsilanediol). The submission substance hydrolyses very rapidly so the partition coefficient of the hydrolysis product is considered more relevant for regulatory purposes than the partition coefficient of the submission substance. The log P values for the consituents were adjusted based on w/w% contribution to GLS-Silane and summed to obtain an esimated Low Kow for GLS-Silane of 0.288.
