Expiry Date: 06 February 2016
Storage Conditions: At room temperature, at 20 ± 5 °C, under N2
Water solubility: Rapid hydrolysis at contact with water
Hydrolysis: Wacker Chemie AG Report (*1): “At all examined pH values only signals of N,N-dibutylaminomethylsilanetriol and ethanol could be observed after the first 1H-NMR measurements. There was no signal of ethoxysilane detectable. Therefore it was concluded that hydrolysis was already completed when the first
spectrum of these pH series (pH 4.0, pH 7.0, pH 9.0 respectively) was measured. Because hydrolysis was finished after the first 1H-NMR measurements (about 2 minutes after mixing the test sample) no exact halflife time or reaction rate could be calculated.” It can be concluded that the hydrolysis half-life of the test item at pH 7 is below two minutes. The water solubility of the hydrolysis product N,N-dibutylaminomethylsilanetriol is > 300 mg/L (*2) at 25 °C. However, the silanetriol tends to form condensation products, which are much less soluble in water. The concentration limit for condensation must be determined prior to testing to achieve stable solutions.

Study design
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Total exposure duration:
- 72 h
Test conditions
- Hardness:
- The water hardness (calculated) of the test water was 0.15 mmol/L (= 15 mg/L as CaCO3).
- Test temperature:
- The test flasks were incubated in a temperature-controlled water bath at a temperature of 22 °C.
- pH:
- The pH was 7.5.
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- No analytical work was performed, with respect to the hydrolytic instability of the test item. A measurement of total organic carbon (TOC) was not reasonable due to the low test item concentrations and the use of the solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF). For this reason, the reported biological results were based on the nominal concentrations of the test item N,N-Dibutylaminomethyltriethoxysilane.
The following nominal concentrations of N,N-Dibutylaminomethyl-triethoxysilane were tested:
0.13, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg/L test water. - Details on test conditions:

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Light intensity and quality: The mean measured light intensity at the level of the test solutions was approximately 8100 Lux (range: 7220 to 8980 Lux, measured at nine places in the experimental area). The light intensity over the incubation area was within a ±15%-deviation from the average light intensity as recommended by the guideline.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable):
- Determination of cell concentrations: A small volume (2 x 100 μL) of the algal suspension was withdrawn daily from each test flask for the measurement of the biomass, and was not replaced. The algal biomass in the samples was determined by fluorescence measurement (BIO-TEK Multi-Detection Microplate Reader,
Model FLx800, wavelength: excitation 440 nm, emission 680 nm; Software: KC4, version 3.4 rev. 21). The measurements were performed at least in duplicate. At the end of the test, a sample was taken from the solvent control and from the test concentration with the nominal concentration of 4.0 mg/L to determine a potential influence of the test item on the morphology of the algal cells. The shape and size of the algal cells were visually inspected.

- Details on results:
- - Exponential growth in the control (for algal test): In the solvent control, the biomass increased by a factor of 165 over 72 hours. The validity criterion of increase of biomass by at least a factor of 16 within three days was fulfilled. The mean coefficient of variation of the daily growth rates in the solvent control (section-bysection growth rates) during 72 hours was 5.7%. According to the OECD test guideline, the mean coefficient of variation must not be higher than 35%. Thus, the validity criterion was fulfilled. The coefficient of variation of the average specific growth rates in the replicates of the solvent control after 72 hours was 2.9%. According to the OECD test guideline, the coefficient of variation must not be higher than 7%. Thus, the validity criterion was fulfilled. All validity criteria were also fulfilled for the control.
- Unusual cell shape: The microscopic examination of the algal cells at the end of the test showed no difference between the algae growing at the nominal concentration of 4.0 mg/L and the algal cells in the solvent control. The shape and size of the algal cells were obviously not affected by the test item up to this concentration.
- Effect concentrations exceeding solubility of substance in test medium: No remarkable observations were made concerning the appearance of the test media. All test media were clear solutions throughout the test period. Only prior to filtration, scattered particles were observed in the test medium with the nominal concentration of 4.0 mg/L. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? Yes!
- EC50: 1.1 mg/L
- Other: The result of the latest positive control test performed in August 2014 (72-hour EC50 for the growth rate: 1.1 mg/L , Harlan Study Number D94966) showed that the sensitivity of the test system was within the internal historical range (72-hour EC50 for the growth rate from 2000 to 2014: 0.71-1.7 mg/L).
Applicant's summary and conclusion

- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, the test item N,N-Dibutylaminomethyl-triethoxysilane had no toxic effects on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata during the 72-hour test period up to the maximum technically feasible concentration of the test item or its hydrolysis products in test water under the test conditions, which was determined to be below 4.0 mg/L based on visual inspection (EC50 > 4.0 mg/L).
- Executive summary:
SUMMARY
The impact of the test item N,N-Dibutylaminomethyl-triethoxysilane on the growth of the freshwater green algal species Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was investigated in a 72-hour static test according to the OECD Guideline 201 (adopted 2006, corrected 2011) and the Commission Regulation (EC) No 761/2009, C.3.
The nominal test item concentrations tested were 0.13, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mg test item/L test water. Additionally, a control and a solvent control group were tested in parallel. Due to the low solubility (See also: Details on test substance) of the test item in water, the organic solvent tetrahydrofuran (THF) was used to dose the test item. The solvent was chosen based on information provided by the Sponsor.
The preparation of the test media was based on the OECD Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, 2000. It was the aim of the procedure to achieve the maximum technically feasible concentration of the test item or its hydrolysis products in the test solution.
After dosing the test substance into the test water, small scattered particles of undissolved test substance were observed in the test medium with the highest nominal concentration of 4.0 mg/L. To avoid a possible secondary effect on the algal cells, all test media were filtered through a membrane filter prior to the start of the exposure.
All required validity criteria were fulfilled in this test.
Since in agreement with the Sponsor no analytical work was performed, the reported biological results were based on the nominal concentrations (See also: Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables) of the test item N,N-Dibutylaminomethyltriethoxysilane:
Parameter (0-72 h): Growth rate Yield EC50 [mg/L] >4.0 >4.0 EC20 [mg/L] >4.0 >4.0 EC10 [mg/L] >4.0 >4.0 NOEC [mg/L] 4.0 4.0 LOEC [mg/L] >4.0 >4.0 In conclusion, the test item N,N-Dibutylaminomethyl-triethoxysilane had no toxic effects on Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata during the 72-hour test period up to the maximum technically feasible concentration of the test item or its hydrolysis products in test water under the test conditions, which was determined to be below 4.0 mg/L based on visual inspection.
