Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The distribution in a sewage treatment plant (STP) has been estimated using the SimpleTreat model (implemented in EUSES 2.1.2/Chesar 3.5), see table below. Due to the moderate hydrolysis of the registered substance, the distribution calculation is done for both the parent substance and the hydrolysis products, cyclohexylmethylsilanediol and methanol.

Cyclohexyldimethoxymethylsilane is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation and is predicted to have moderate Henry’s Law constant and high log Kow/log Koc. Therefore, water and air are the main compartments to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant, with partition to sludge also being significant.

Cyclohexylmethylsilanediol is not expected to undergo any significant biodegradation and is predicted to have low Henry’s Law constant and low log Kow/log Koc. Distribution modelling for STP indicates that water is the main compartment to which it is expected to partition in a sewage treatment plant. Water is also likely to be the main compartment to which cyclohexylmethylsilanediol will partition in the wider environment.
