Description of key information

Additional information

The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2), see table below. Due to the moderately rapid hydrolysis of [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]diethoxy(methyl)silane, the distribution calculation is done for the silanol hydrolysis product, [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]methylsilanediol.

[3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]diethoxy(methyl)silane hydrolyses moderately rapidly to form [3-(2,3-epoxypropoxy)propyl]methylsilanediol and ethanol.

[3 -(2,3 -epoxypropoxy)propyl]methylsilanediol is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation, has low Henry’s Law constant and low log Kow/log Koc. Therefore water is the main compartment to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant.
