The containers from which the test- or control solutions are to be filled received 42 mL test- or 38 mL control substance. The median material concentration was 8.95 mg DOC/L in the test solution, or 10.9 mg DOC/L in the control solutions. Containers were filled to two litres with VE water. 900 mL of this solution was placed into each 2000 mL Erlenmeyer flask.

CONTROL AND BLANK SYSTEM
- Inoculum blank: yes

- Abiotic sterile control: no
- Toxicity control: no - Reference substance:
- benzoic acid, sodium salt
- Key result
- Parameter:
- % degradation (DOC removal)
- Value:
- 67
- Sampling time:
- 28 d
- Details on results:
- The test substance was degraded to 67% after 28 days. The 10-day window was not met in which 70% of the test substance must be degraded. Therefore, the test substance is not readily biodegradable but is considered to be biodegradable.
- Results with reference substance:
- The reference substance sodium benzoate reached 98% biodegradation within 10 days and was completely degraded after 28 days.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not readily biodegradable
- Executive summary:
Materials and methods: The biodegradation potential of 3-Aminopropyl-triethoxysilan was tested in a DOC-Die Away test (EU Method C.4-A). The inoculum used during this experiment was collected from a primarily communal sewage treatment plant. The inoculum (final concentration per flask 26.8 mg/mL) was exposed for 28 days to the test substance, and blank and reference substance (sodium benzoate) controls were applied as well (in duplicate). The incubation temperature ranged from 21.8 to 22.2°C. Analytical DOC determinations were performed on days 0, 7, 14, 21, 27 and 28 and biodegradation rates calculated.
Results: The biodegradation of the test substance reached 63% within the first 7 days of experiment and a final degradation value of 67% on day 28. According to the criteria stated for this kind of test, 3-Aminopropyl-triethoxysilan can be considered not readily biodegradable (<70% biodegradation after 28 days). The reference substance attained 98% biodegradation within 10 days, being completely degraded by the end of the experiment.

Description of key information

Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- inherently biodegradable
Additional information
There are no data on biodegradation for N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (CAS 3069-25-8). In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5 “Grouping of substances and read across” and in accordance with the Read across assessment framework (RAAF, ECHA 2017) a read across from the analogue substance 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 919-30-2) has been applied to support the environmental hazard assessment of N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (CAS 3069-25-8). Details on read across justifications can be found in the attached justification in the respective target entry and in the overall justification for grouping of substances attached in IUCLID Section 13.
The available study (1994) investigating the biodegradation of the analogue substance 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (CAS 919-30-2) was conducted according to EU Method C4.A Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) Die-away test (92/69/EEC), under GLP conditions. The inoculum (non-adapted activated sludge from a sewage treatment plant) was exposed for 28 days to the test substance and biodegradation was calculated based on DOC removal measurements. At the end of the experiment, the substance reached a biodegradation value of 67% and therefore, is not considered as readily biodegradable. However, considering that within 7 days the biodegradation value for the substance was already 63% and the final value was 67%, almost reaching the pass value of 70% for readily biodegradable substances, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane can be regarded as moderately biodegradable.
Based on the results of the analogue substance, N-methyl-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylamine (CAS 3069-25-8) is not assumed to be readily biodegradable.
