Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The summary concludes that there are no experimental data on the stability of MOTC in water;  however, based on data for other organotins [e.g., DOTC, MBTC, DBTL,  DBT(2-EHMA), DOT(2-EHMA)], MOTC is expected to hydrolyze rapidly (within  minutes to hours) in solution and the alkyltin moiety (MOT) is expected  to be hydrolytically stable. The chloride in MOTC reacts initially with water to form mono-octyltin  oxide (MOTO, which is less water soluble that MOTC) and HCl (which is  quite dilute due to the low solubility of MOTC.  Equilibrium reactions  occur, but only in situations where there is an excess of chloride would  any significant MOTC be reformed since MOTO is so insoluble and,  therefore, less available for the replacement reaction to occur. At this time, no analytical technique exists that is capable of  quantifying the entire MOTC compound with its chloride ligand, in dilute  aqueous solution.  None of the current analytical methods (e.g., alkyl or  hydride derivatization) are acceptable for quantifying the resulting  products of hydrolysis, as the parent compound, soluble impurities, and  hydrolysis products will all be derivatized to the same final  tetraalkyltin or alkyltin hydride compound, and there would be no  differentiation between starting material and hydrolysis products.
