Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Partition coefficient [dichloro(dimethyl)silane]: not relevant

Partition coefficient (dimethylsilanediol) = -0.38 at 20°C (measured)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The requirement to test the substance for n-octanol/water partition coefficient is waived because in contact with water the substance hydrolyses very rapidly to form dimethylsilanediol and hydrochloric acid. The log Kow of the silanol hydrolysis product dimethylsilanediol was determined using a relevant test method to be -0.38 at 20°C .The result is considered to be reliable. However, in a secondary source to which reliability could not be assigned, log Kow of 1.8 was reported for the parent substance dichloro(dimethyl)silane.
