Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
SIKA Hardener LI was assessed in a closed bottle test over a period of 28 days, according to OECD guideline 301 D and the EU method C.4-E. SIKA Hardener LI was ready biodegradable, reaching a mean of 63.4 % after 28 days, however, degradation failed the 10-day window.
Data from the hydrolysis products indicate that 2,2-Dimethyl-3-lauroyloxy-propanal is readily biodegradable, whereas 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexylamine is not readily biodegradable (see ECHA dissemination webpage).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- readily biodegradable but failing 10-day window
Additional information
In a weight of evidence approach the biodegradation data form the parent molecule and the two primary hydrolysis products were assessed:
The parent substance SIKA Hardener LI was assessed in a closed bottle test over a period of 28 days, according to OECD guideline 301 D and EU method C.4-E. Under the test conditions biodegradation of SIKA Hardener LI reached a mean of 63.4 % after 28 days, based on ThODNO3. However the pass level of 60 % was not reached within a 10-day period. Therefore, the test item was considered ready biodegradable failing the 10 day window. The correspondingdegradation rate was calculated to be 7.70E‑06 d-1or 3.210E‑07 h.
The hydrolysis product 2,2 -Dimethyl-3 -lauroyloxy-propanal was tested using a test item concentration corresponding to 20 mg organic carbon/L (nominal) in test medium following OECD 301B and EU-Guideline C.4-C. Aniline was chosen as reference item. Activated sludge was used as inoculum (concentration in the test 25 mg drymatter/L). The test was left running for 28 days. All validity criteria were met. Degradation of the reference item was 75 % after seven days. The degradation of test item at end of the test was 91 %. Therefore the test item was considered to be readily biodegradable.
The second hydrolysis product Isophorone diamine (CAS 2855 -13 -2) proved to be not readily biodegradable in a study conducted according to EU method C4 A (8 % degradation after 28 d, see ECHA dissemination webpage).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
