Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Photodegradation is not expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The basic structural unit of soluble silicates is a tetrahedral arrangement of four oxygen atoms surrounding a central silicon atom. Tetrahedra are linked with each other via Si-O-Si bonds resulting in an infinite three-dimensional network where the oxygen atoms at the corners of a given tetrahedron are shared with neighbouring tetrahedra. Not all corners in the tetrahedra are shared; the negative charge of unshared oxygen atoms is balanced by the presence of sodium or potassium cations which are randomly spaced in the interstices of the silicate structure. Based on these structural considerations a significant breakdown of soluble silicates via photodegradation is not expected.
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.
