Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

RM-Freetext:
Polymerisation-Depolymerisation:
Upon dilution of concentrated commercial silicate solutions with water, the highly cross-linked polysilicate ions depolymerize rapidly to monosilicate ions, the extent of depolymerisation depending on the dilution factor.
