Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2/Chesar 3.7), see table below.

 

Due to the moderately rapid hydrolysis of the registration substance to form [2-(perfluorohexyl)ethyl]silanetriol and ethanol, the distribution calculation is performed for the parent substance and its hydrolysis products.

The registration substance is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation and is predicted to have very high Henry’s Law Constant and has high predicted log Kow/log Koc. Sludge and air are the main compartments to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant, with partition to water also being significant. The low solubility of the substance in water may affect the distribution within the sewage treatment plant model in the environmental exposure assessment.
