Estimation method (if used):
Chemical analysis using Gas Chromatographic analytical method to determine the concentration of organifucntional silane A-1128 in the solution. The test substance is dissolved in methanol. The concentration of the test substance is determined before and after addition of water.
Details on test conditions:
TEST MEDIUM
- Volume used/treatment: no
- Preparation of test medium: A standard solution of the resulting residue was perpared in methanol (LiChrosolv, Merck, Darmstadt, FRG) at the concentration 1.9 g/L. This stock solution was diluted 10 times with methanol. Also dilutions were perpared with addition of 0.2, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0% Milli-Q water (Millipore Corp.)
- If no traps were used, is the test system closed: After evaporation step the test substance-containing container was flushed with nitrogen and closed.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Temperature: The test was performed at ambient temperature and remained below 30 °C during the evaporation procedure

TEST CONDITIONS
- Composition of medium: The following amounts of stock solutions were added per litre of Milli-Q water for the formulation of the nutrient medium: 2 mL of solution A, 1 mL of solution B, 1 mL, 1 mL of solution C, 4 mL of solution D, 1 mL of solution E. All nutrients were added to Milli-Q water in such a way that no precipitation occurred. After pretreatment weighed amount of test substance, 33.9 and 65.1 mg, were quantitatively added to 3 L test medium.
- Stock solution:
A) 8.50 g KH2PO4, 21.75 g K2HPO4, 67.20 g Na2HPO4 x 12H2O, 0.50 g NH4Cl, dissolved in 1 L Milli-Q water, pH 7.4±0.2
B) 22.50 g MgSO4 x 7H2O, dissolved in 1 L Milli-Q water
C) 36.40 g CaCl2 x 2H2O, dissolved in 1 L Milli-Q water
D) 0.15 g FeCl3, dissolved in 1 L Milli-Q water
E) 40.0 g (NH4)2SO4, dissolved in 1 L Milli-Q water

- Additional substrate: 4 g Barium hydroxide per L Milli-Q water was filtered through filter paper and stored in a sealed vessel to prevent absorption of CO2 from the air. After the aeration period, three CO2-absorber bottles were filled with 80 mL 0.025 N Ba(OH)2.
- Test temperature: 20 ± 2 °C
- pH: blank 6.7, positive control 6.46, organofunctional silane A-1128 (10 mg/L) 6.44, organofunctional silane A-1128 (20 mg/L) 5.57

Results and discussion

Transformation products:
yes
Remarks:
Degradation is principally expected via abiotic transformation (aqueous). The transformation products expected are those identified in IUCLID section 1.10 "transformation of the registered substance", the environmental hazard assessment is based on those.
