Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Biodegradation in water: screening tests
Administrative data

Description of key information
28-d degradation of 86% based on CO2 evolution (OECD 310), RL1
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In a test to investigate the biodegradation in water test according to OECD 310 and GLP (Infracor Chemistry Services, 2007) activated sludge was exposed to 20 mg/l of [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]urea over 28 days. The degradation was calculated from the CO2evolution during the test period. The tested batch of [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]urea contains 50 % methanol, which would biodegrade rapidly and [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]urea hydrolyses in contact with water to the corresponding 3-Ureidopropylsilanetriol and ethanol. After 28 days, a mean degradation rate of 86% was found.The silanol hydrolysis product,3-Ureidopropylsilanetriol, is not expected to biodegrade to any significant extent.The high degradation rate could be explained with the readily biodegradability of methanol and ethanol in the test media.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
