Description of key information

Biodegradation in water screening tests: 1% (DOC) biodegradation in 28 days (OECD 301C). No significant biodegradation is expected for the silanol hydrolysis product

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Biodegradation in water:
under test conditions no biodegradation observed

Additional information

The key study is the only biodegradation study available for the substance. In a test conducted in accordance with OECD 301C (Modified MITI Test) and in compliance with GLP, the test substance attained 1% (DOC) degradation in 28 days.

 

1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)piperazine hydrolyses within the timescale of the ready biodegradation study to form tert-butyldimethylsilanol and piperazine.

 

Piperazine was reported as not readily biodegradable but inherently biodegradable (OECD 2004).

 

No significant biodegradation is expected for the silanol hydrolysis products.
