Narrative:

Upon establishing ACARS communication coasting in on transatlantic flight; received following message from operations control: 'message from egss ramp...inadvertently left off your paperwork was 400 liters of class 9 rmd (orm)/idg located in 13C. No corrosive or flammable.' after many subsequent ACARS messages; we determined that this was a paperwork problem and continued to destination. Upon cargo offload; I was able to confirm that the 400 liters of undeclared hazmat was 3-MERCAPTOPROPYL -- trimethoxysilane njtsr; no 56705700001 -- 5935P.
