- For stability test in water:
The stock solution (10 mg/mL MH in acetonitrile) was quickly diluted with ultra-pure water in one step from 10 mg/mL to 10 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL, respectively.
- For stability test in OECD and ISO medium:
The stock solutions were diluted to 2.5, 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 ng/mL concentrations with water, ISO or OECD medium.
The protriptyline hydrochloride concentration was 125 ng/mL in each working solutions. Protriptyline hydrochloride was used as internal standard. - Buffers:

- - Solvent: ultra-pure water, acetonitrile and methanol (for SIKA Hardener MH), ultra-pure water, OECD and ISO medium (for Aldehyde M)
- Sampling: immediately after dilution, 0.5 and 1 minutes later (in water); immediately after dilution, 2 and 4 hours later (in acetonitrile); immediately after dilution (in methanol); immediately after dilution, 13 and 26 hours later (in ISO and OECD medium)
- Other:
In order to assess the adsorption of the test item to the vial's surface the stock solution (10 mg/mL SIKA Hardener MH in acetonitrile) was quickly diluted to 10 µg/mL or 100 µg/mL in one step with ultra-pure water. After homogenization the solution was transferred out into another vial. To recover the adsorbed test item the original vial was washed with equal volume of acetonitrile. Then the rinsing acetonitrile was injected directly into the LC/MS system. - Number of replicates:

- Conclusions:

Measurements revealed a very fast hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH in water and water-based media (t1/2 < 0.6 minutes in water). The degradation products of the hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH are 2,2-dimethyl-3-(morpholin-4-yl)propanal (Aldehyde M) and hexanediamine.

Measurements revealed a very fast hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH in water and water-based media (t1/2 < 0.6 minutes in water). The degradation products of the hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH 2,2-dimethyl-3-(morpholin-4-yl)propanal (Aldehyde M) and hexanediamine were successfully identified via their MS signals. In the aprotic organic solvent acetonitrile SIKA Hardener MH is stable for at least 26 hours storage. In contrast in the protic solvent methanol SIKA Hardener MH is not stable.
The storage stability of the degradation product of SIKA Hardener MH (Aldehyde M) was evaluated in aqueous solutions (ultra-pure water, OECD and ISO medium). In ultra-pure water Aldehyde M is stable for at least 26 hours. In aqueous buffer solutions (OECD and ISO medium) a rapidly decreasing signal of Aldehyde M was observed. In OECD medium approximately 5 times and in ISO medium approximately 1.5 times lower Aldehyde M concentration were measured after 26 hours. This observation indicates that the measured concentration of Aldehyde M in these ecotoxicological media does not reflect its real concentration.
Reference
Investigation of the hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH and identification of its degradation products:
In acetonitrile no degradation products of SIKA Hardener MH (Aldehyde M, m/z: 172.1 amu) could be detected, even after a storage for 24 hours (see Figures 1 - 3). In contrast after mixing SIKA Hardener MH with the protic solvent methanol an intense signal of the degradation product Aldehyde M (m/z: 172.1 amu) and its methanol-adduct (m/z: 204.0) could be observed (see Figure 4). MS spectra of SIKA Hardener MH in ultrapure water at a low concentration level (10 µg/mL) (see Figure 5) showed immediately after dilution an alomost complete hydrolysis. No signals of SIKA Hardener MH (m/z: 423.1 amu for [MH+H+]) could be detected. At the high concentration level (100 µg/mL) (see Figure 6) weak MS signals of SIKA Hardener MH (~ 8 % relative abundance) and intense signals of the degradation products Aldehyde M (m/z: 172.1 amu), its methanol-adduct (m/z: 204.0) and the corresponding amine (m/z: 171.1 amu) could be detected immediately after preparation. The weak signal of the parent compound practically disappeared within approximately 1 minute (see Figure 7, 8).
Furthermore via the analysis of the solvent that was used for washing the vial containing test item solution, it could be shown that the very fast and intense degradation of SIKA Hardener MH is the predominant process resulting in prompt disappearance of the test items in water. Thus the adsorption of the test item on the vial's surface can be excluded.
The degradation products (Aldehyde M and hexandiamine) were identified via their MS signals (m/z: 172.1 amu and m/z: 171.1 amu, respectively) (see Figure 5 - 8).
The storage stability of the degradation product of SIKA Hardener MH (Aldehyde M) was evaluated in aqueous solutions (ultra-pure water, OECD and ISO medium). In ultrapure water (see Figure 9 - 10) Aldehyde M (reference item as well as item originated from the hydrolysis of SIKA Hardener MH) is stable for at least 26 hours. In aqueous buffer solutions (OECD and ISO medium) a rapidly decreasing signal of Aldehyde M (during 26 h storage) was observed (see Figure 11 - 14). In OECD medium approximately 5 times and in ISO medium approximately 1.5 times lower Aldehyde M concentration were measured after 26 hours.
