Additional information

The parent material, 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine, hydrolyses rapidly in water to form the substance hydrolysis product of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine >0.1 -<16% (EC no. 939-125-9). The hydrolytic reaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane is always accompanied by self-condensation processes (Brochier Salon et. al. 2010; Brochier Salon et al, 2008; Shi et al. 2012; Paquet et al. 2012). Therefore, the substance hydrolysis products of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propan-1-amine consists of not only silanol and ethanol which are formed directly from hydrolysis, but also several condensation products, such as dimers, trimers as well as oligomeric siloxanes. Furthermore, the experimental results on removal of water show water cannot be separated from the substance without affecting the stability or changing the substance composition (Chemetall 2015). Taking all these into consideration the substance firstly represents already a hydrolysis product and secondly testing for further hydrolytic reactions is not possible due to the complexity and instability of the substance itself. In addition, the substance is regarded as readily biodegradable. In accordance with column 2 of Annex VIII 9.2.2.1 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, testing for hydrolysis is not required if the substance is readily biodegradable.
