Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

If the substance is released to the aquatic compartment it is expected to hydrolyse to dioctyltin dichloride, ethanol, acetic acid and silicium dioxide. The dioctyltin hydrolysis products are assumed to be not readily biodegradable as a result from a biodegradation screening study. From research activities it is known that organotin compounds have an affinity to bind to organic matter (e.g. sewage sludge) by adsorption (RPA, 2005; Fent, 2013). For the expected main hydrolysis product dioctyltin dichloride a log Koc of 5.47 is reported. A main compartment of environmental distribution is hard to identify since organotin compounds were found in all environmental compartments in detectable amounts (soil, sediment, water and atmosphere; RPA, 2005).
