Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 substance is a multi-constituent substance containing S2-S4 as the main constituents with S5 identified as a named impurity. The constituents of the substance, bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]polysulfides, hydrolyse with a hydrolysis half-life of greater than 40 hours. The hydrolysis products, bis[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]polysulfides, are:

 

  • 3-{[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]disulfanyl}propyl)silanetriol
  • (3-{[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]trisulfanyl}propyl)silanetriol
  • [3-({[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]disulfanyl}disulfanyl)propyl]silanetriol
  • (3-{[3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl]pentasulfanyl}propyl)silanetriol

 

The other hydrolysis product is ethanol. Given the rate of hydrolysis, the environmental hazard assessment for the aquatic compartment including wastewater treatment plant, is based on the properties of the parent substance in accordance with REACH guidance for Chemical Safety Assessment (Chapter R16). The environmental hazard assessment for the sediment and soil compartments are considered for both parent substance, bis[3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]polysulfides and the silanol hydrolysis product.

 

The silanol hydrolysis products listed above are the expected final product of hydrolysis reactions under conditions of a hydrolysis laboratory study. However, other biotic or abiotic reactions may occur over longer timescales in the environment
