Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Abiotic degradation


N-(3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine hydrolyses very rapidly (half-life 0.025 h at pH 7 and 24.7°C, see Section 4.1.1.1).


 


A half-life of 0.1 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for N-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine.


 


The hydrolysis products are N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine and methanol.


 


A half-life of 0.1 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine.


 


Biotic degradation


39% degradation in 28 days (DOC) has been determined for the submission substance. This biodegradation is associated with the biodegradation of the methanol hydrolysis product, which is readily biodegradable (OECD 2004). The silanol hydrolysis product, N-(3-(trihydroxysilyl)propyl)ethylenediamine, is not expected to biodegrade.


 


The chemical safety assessment indicates that it is not necessary to obtain further information on biodegradation via simulation tests in water, sediment or soil.


 


Table 4.1.4 Degradation rates






















Degradation rate in water:



Hydrolysis half-life: 0.025 h at 24.7°C. No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product.



Degradation rate in sediment:



Hydrolysis may occur (hydrolysis half-life in water: 0.025 h at 24.7°C). No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product.



Degradation rate in soil:



Hydrolysis may occur (hydrolysis half-life in water: 0.025 h at 24.7°C). No significant biodegradation expected for the silanol hydrolysis product.



Degradation rate in air:



Half-life for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air: 0.1 days (calculated).


Half-life for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air of silanol hydrolysis product: 0.1 days (calculated).
