Description of key information
Additional information
Dimethylbis(octadecyloxy)silane is a low melting-point solid at standard temperature and pressure, with a melting point of 32°C and a measured boiling point of 407°C. It has a measured relative density of 0.889 at 20°C and measured vapour pressure values of 4E-04 Pa at 20°C and 0.023 Pa at 50°C.
The substance is not classified for flammability according to Regulation EC (No.) 1272/2008 on the basis of a measured flash point of 199.5°C and a boiling point of 407°C. It has a measured auto-ignition temperature of 353°C at 963 -969 hPa, and is not explosive and not oxidising on the basis of chemical structure.
Dimethylbis(octadecyloxy)silane reacts with water (predicted half-life of >15 hours) to form dimethylsilanediol (1 mole) and 1-octadecanol (2 moles) according to the following equation:
(CH3)2Si(O(CH2)17CH3)2+ 2H2O → (CH3)2Si(OH)2 + 2CH3(CH2)16CH2OH
Dimethylbis(octadecyloxy)silane has a predicted water solubility of 2.5E-14 mg/l at 20-25°C, and a predicted log Kow of 9.0 at 25°C. Given the very high adsorption potential and very low water solubility hydrolysis is likely to be very slow in the environment and in vivo.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
