Description of key information
Readily biodegradable but failing the 10 -day window (65% and 81% biodegradation after 28 and 60 d respectively, OECD 301 F, based on read-across to CAS No. 16415-12-6).
Inherently biodegradable (57% after 28 d and 65% after 60 d, OECD 301F, based on read-across to CAS No. 18643-08-8).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
There is no reliable ready biodegradation data available for the parent substance trichloro(hexadecyl)silane (CAS No. 5894-60-0) or its silanol hydrolysis product, therefore good quality data has been read across from the structurally analogue substances trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane (CAS No. 16415-12-6) and octadecyldimethylchlorosilane (CAS No. 18643-08-8). Both source substances hydrolyse in the aquatic environment to form the identical silanol hydrolysis product (trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane) or a similar silanol hydrolysis product (octadecyldimethylchlorosilane) as the target compound trichloro(hexadecyl)silane. The second hydrolysis products formed being hydrochloric acid (target and octadecyldimethylchlorosilane) and methanol (trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane). The alcohol hydrolysis product methanol is known to be readily biodegradable (OECD SIDS, 2004), while hydrochloric acid is an inorganic substance and thus not susceptible to biodegradation (OECD SIDS, 2002). While the target substance trichloro(hexadecyl)silane and the source substance octadecyldimethylchlorosilane both show a rapid hydrolysis (DT50 << 2 min), the source substance trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane has a much slower hydrolysis rate under environmental conditions with a DT50 value of > 14 d at pH 7. Therefore, the parent compound of the source substance trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane can be expected to be the predominant form, which was present during the study, while for the source substance octadecyldimethylchlorosilane the respective silanol hydrolysis product can be expected to be the predominant form within the study. More information can be found in the attached read-across justification in IUCLID Section 13.
In the available study for the analogue substance octadecyldimethylchlorosilane (CAS No. 18643-08-8, C18 alkyl side chain), biodegradation was assessed in an enhanced ready biodegradability test according to OECD guideline 301F and GLP criteria. The non-adapted activated sludge was exposed to 19 mg/L test substance for 60 days. Biodegradation was calculated based on O2-consumption.
The substance reached a biodegradation of 57% after 28 d and 65% after 60 d. Therefore, the read across substance is assessed as being inherently biodegradable.
In the available study for the analogue substance trimethoxy(hexadecyl)silane (CAS No. 16415-12-6, C16 alkyl side chain), biodegradation was assessed in an enhanced ready biodegradability test according to OECD guideline 301F and GLP conditions. Domestic, non-adapated sludge was exposed to 20 mg/L test item for 60 d. Silicone oil was used as a solubilizing agent. Biodegradation was assessed based on O2-consumption.
After 28 d and 60 d, a biodegradation of 65% and 81% was recorded, respectively. However, the 10-day window criterion was not fulfilled. Therefore, the substance qualifies as "readily biodegradable but failing the 10-day window". Furthermore, the toxicity control showed that the substance is not inhibitory to activated sludge microorganisms.
Hence, biodegradation is expected for the silanol hydrolysis product and it can be regarded as inherently biodegradable.
