Description of key information
Additional information
Abiotic degradation
3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile is predicted to hydrolyse rapidly (half-life 1.1 hours at pH 7 and 24.5°C). A half-life of 5.7 days for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air has been calculated for 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propiononitrile. However, reaction with water vapour, rather than photolysis, may be the primary degradation process in air.
The initial hydrolysis products are expected to be 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propiononitrile and methanol.
Biotic degradation
A reliable ready biodegradation test has been read-across from an analogous substance which indicates that it is not readily biodegradable, and no significant biodegradation in water of the hydrolysis product, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)propiononitrile, is expected.
The chemical safety assessment indicates that it is not necessary to obtain further information on biodegradation via simulation tests in water, sediment or soil.

Degradation rate in water: |
Hydrolysis half-life: 1.1 hours at pH 7 and 20-25°C (predicted),for removal of parent. No significant biodegradation of silanol hydrolysis product expected. |
Degradation rate in sediment: |
No significant biodegradation of silanol hydrolysis product expected. |
Degradation rate in soil: |
No significant biodegradation of silanol hydrolysis product expected. |
Degradation rate in air: |
Half-life for reaction with hydroxyl radicals in air: 5.7 days for parent; 1.5 days for silanol hydrolysis product (predicted). |
