12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
The product is a high molecular, liquid polymer and is characterised by a very low
vapour pressure. It can enter the atmosphere only as an ACROSOL.
Investigations showed that polydimethly siloxane does not have Toxic effects on
sludge organism. Tests showed that polydimethly siloxane containing sludge
brought on agricultural soil did not give negative effects on ground organisms,
earthworms and the following growth of plants.
In the ground polydimethyl siloxane is decomposed into small silicone molecules
abiotically. These small silicone molecules are decomposed biologically in the
soil or evaporate from the soil and are decomposed in the atmosphere under the
Page 3 of 4

influences of light. Under suitable conditions the following decomposition

products are obtained. Carbondioxide, inorganic silicone, water vapour.
The size of high molecular polydimethyl siloxane molecule prevents the
absorption into or passage through biological membranes.
Owing to the low water solubility of polydimethyl siloxane standard OECD
procedures on testing biological degradation cannot be applied to this product.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Dispose off in accordance with local regulations pass on to an appropriate
incinerating plant or depository or recycling.
Contaminated Packaging

Recommendation empty the packaging completely

Prior to disposal. Allow it to drain thoroughly. Clean
Contaminated packaging thoroughly with an
Appropriate solvent and dispose off at an
Appropriate incinerating plant according to local
