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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Phototransformation in water
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
Description of key information
Chlorosilanes as a class rapidly hydrolyze which means that photodegradation is not a relevant process. Water soluble silanols such as methylsilanediol will undergo aqueous photolytic oxidative demethylation with tropospheric ultraviolet radiation in the presence of suitable chromophores.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No information is available for phototransformation in water of chlorosilanes or silanols. For chlorosilanes, rapid hydrolysis means that photodegradation is not a relevant process. Experiments carried out for silanols indicate that water soluble silanols such as methylsilanediol will undergo aqueous photolytic oxidative demethylation with tropospheric ultraviolet radiation in the presence of suitable chromophores, such as nitrogen oxides, to give silicic acid and carbon dioxide (Buch 1983).
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.
