Details on results:
Hydrolysis rate at pH 4 was above 90 % at the first analysis, therefore t1/2 is considered to be less than 5 minutes at each of the three temperatures.
At pH 7 the reaction lasted for about five hours, the calculated t1/2 is 86 – 111 minutes for the different temperatures.
At pH 9 the reaction proved to be slower, it lasted for eight days. The calculated t1/2 is 62 - 105 hours depending on the applied temperature.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Hydrolysis of the test item was most rapid in acidic environment (pH 4) and high temperature compared to basic environment (pH 9) and low temperature:
At pH 4, the half-life t1/2 at 15 °C, 25 °C and 35 °C was <5 min. At pH 7, the t1/2 at 15 °C was 111 min, at 25 °C – 99 min, and at 35 °C – 86 min. At pH 9, the half-life was determined to be 105 hours at 15 °C, 85 hours at 25 °C and 62 hours at 35 °C, respectively.
The degradation products following hydrolysis are 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl dodecanoate (CAS # 102985-93-3) and 5-amino-1,3,3-trimethyl-cyclohexanemethylamine (CAS # 2855-13-2).
Executive summary:

Determination of the hydrolysis of the test item as a function of pH was performed according to OECD 111 and EU method C.7 in a study according to GLP. Abiotic degradation of the test item was assessed in solutions of different pH values. Hydrolysis was most rapid in acidic environment (pH 4) and high temperature compared to basic environment (pH 9) and low temperature:

4, < 5 min < 5 min < 5 min

7, 111 min 99 min 86 min

9, 105 hours 85 hours 62 hours

Due to the small number of microorganisms present in the test mixtures (5 - 25 microorganisms/mL test mixture), there was a very low possibility of microbial decomposition. Based on the above results a potential for chemical decomposition (hydrolysis) is indicated. The degradation products following hydrolysis are 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl dodecanoate (CAS # 102985-93-3) and 5-amino-1,3,3-trimethyl-cyclohexanemethylamine (CAS # 2855-13-2).

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

The validation report shows, that only 1 % of nominal concentration of Sika Hardener LG could be detected in ISO medium after 47 min. In OECD medium 67 % of nominal concentration was detected after 44 min. Recovery from aqueous solutions could not be determined, due to the very rapid hydrolyses of Sika Hardener LG from the solution.

Description of key information

In a weight of evidence approach, based on data from method development and data from a structural analogue, it can be shown that the DT50 of Sika Hardener LG is far below 12 hours. The degradation products following hydrolysis are the aldehyde 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl dodecanoate (CAS # 102985-93-3) and the amine 2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol (CAS # 929-06-6).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No state of the art hydrolysis study is available for Sika Hardener LG. This endpoint is not required for a tonnage band of 1-10 t/a, but supporting data are provided to justify waivers for physical/chemical endpoints like water solubility.


In a weight of evidence approach data from the analytical method development with Sika Hardener LG and a state of the art study with the analogous substance Sika Hardener LI is presented.


Analytical determination of test item is technically not feasible due to the fast hydrolysis. The validation report (LAB, 2009) shows, that only 1 % of nominal concentration of Sika Hardener LG could be detected in ISO medium after 47 min. In OECD medium 67 % of nominal concentration was detected after 44 min. The degradation products following hydrolysis are the aldehyde 2,2-dimethyl-3-oxopropyl dodecanoate (CAS # 102985-93-3) and the amine 2-(2-Aminoethoxy)ethanol (CAS # 929-06-6).


The statement of fast hydrolysis based on the validation report is supported by a read-across approach from a full hydrolysis study (Laky, 2009) that was performed with another structural analogue - Sika Hardener LI. Both substances are aldimines sharing the same aldehyde component (2,2-Dimethyl-3-lauroyloxy-propanal, CAS # 102985-93-3) and only differ in the amine component. Data from the OECD toolbox supports the use of data from Sika Hardener LI also as read-across for Sika Hardener LG (see attachment in section 13).


Sika Hardener LI was assessed in an abiotic degradation study, according to EU-method C.7 and OECD guideline no. 111. Hydrolysis of Sika Hardener LI was most rapid in acidic environment (pH 4) and high temperature compared to basic environment (pH 9) and low temperature. The DT50 at pH 7 and 25 °C and 15 °C and was 99 min and 111 min, respectively.


In conclusion, it can be stated that the half-life of Sika Hardener LG is by far below 12 hours.
