- Details on inoculum:
- The inoculum employed in the test was activated sludge from the Marl - Ost municipal sewage treatment plant. It was taken off on 1994-09-07 and centrifugated for 15 min at 3000 rpm. The supernatant was rejected and the sludge resuspended with mineral medium (washing). After another centrifugation step 15 min at 3000 rpm, the sludge was resuspended. The content of the dry matter in the inoculum used was 3.45 g/l. The determination of suspended solids was carried out before the inoculum. Dzring this time the sludge had to be aerated by aerating tube. The content of the suspended solids in the test batches was 27.6 mg/l.

- Details on study design:
- Vessels: 2000 ml conial flasks with loose aluminium foil closure
Test batches:
2 flasks containing test substance (11.2 mg DOC/l after 3h) and inoculum
2 flasks without test substance, but with inoculum (= blank batch)
2 flasks containing control substance (sodium benzoate: 10.8 mg DOC/l after 3 hours) and inoculum
Method:
Addition of inoculum corresponding a dry matter content of 27.6 mg/test medium.
Filling up with about 2 l mineral medium
30 ml/l test substance stock solution, respectively 20 ml/l control substance stock solution, were given into the test vessels from which the test and control substance batches were filled up.
The content of substances was in mean value 13.33 mg DOC/l (after 3h) in the test batches, respectively 11.28 mg DOC/l (after 3 h) in the control batches.
The batches were filled up to 2.5 l with mineral medium.
From this batches two times 1000 ml were given into 2000 ml Erlenmeyer flasks.
The loosely covered flasks were incubated at 21.9 to 22.2 °C in the dark on a mechanical shaker for 28 days. - Reference substance:

Description of key information
Biodegradation in water (screening tests): 0% in 28 days (EU Method C.4-A), read-across from a structurally-related substance. No significant biodegradation of the silanol hydrolysis product is expected.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
- Type of water:
- freshwater
Additional information
There are no reliable ready biodegradation data available for trichloro(propyl)silane (CAS 141-57-1), therefore good quality data for the analogous substance, (trimethoxy(propyl)silane (CAS 1067-25-0), have been read across. Trichloro(propyl)silane hydrolyses very rapidly in contact with water to form propylsilanetriol and hydrochloric acid. The read-across substance, trimethoxy(propyl)silane hydrolyses rapidly in contact with water to form propylsilanetriol and methanol. Both substances hydrolyse rapidly, and extensive or complete hydrolysis in the course of the 28-day ready biodegradation study is to be expected, and both share the same silanol hydrolysis product, propylsilanetriol as stated above. In view of the very rapid hydrolysis, it is the silanol hydrolysis product that is relevant for environmental risk assessment.
For trichloro(propyl)silane, biodegradation is not relevant for the non-silanol hydrolysis product, hydrochloric acid being an inorganic substance.
For the read-across substance, trimethoxy(propyl)silane, the non-silanol hydrolysis product, methanol is readily biodegradable (OECD 2004).
Trichloro(propyl)silane (CAS 141-57-1) and trimethoxy(propyl)silane (CAS 1067-25-0) are within an analogue group of substances within which, in general, there is no evidence of any significant biodegradation once hydrolysis and subsequent biodegradation of alkoxy/acetoxy groups has been taken into account.
This analogue group for the ready biodegradability endpoint consists of substances containing a number of different functional groups but specific read-across is between substances with similar functionality.
The table below presents ready biodegradation data for substances relevant to trichloro(propyl)silane.
It is considered valid to read-across the results for trimethoxy(propyl)silane (CAS 1067-25-0) to fill the data gap for the registered substance since the source and target substances generate the same silanol hydrolysis product. Additional information is given in a supporting report (PFA, 2013f) attached in Section 13.

[1]The negative values in this column are where the biodegradation rate observed in the test is less than that expected assuming only alkoxy/acetoxy parts biodegrade. This could be due to low solubility of parent substance or low rates of hydrolysis. These values should in effect be considered as zero.
[2]Stipulated in "Testing Method for New Chemical Substances etc." (Kanhogyo No.5, Yakuhatsu 615, 49Kikyoku No.392, July 13, 1974 )
In the study with trimethoxy(propyl)silane (CAS 1067-25-0), 54% biodegradation was observed in 28 days.
Trimethoxy(propyl)silane (CAS 1067-25-0), hydrolyses within the timescale of the ready biodegradation study to propylsilanetriol and methanol. The biodegradation observed in the study is attributable to the biodegradation of the methanol hydrolysis product.
Methanol is readily biodegradable (OECD, 2004).
No significant biodegradation is expected for the silanol hydrolysis product.
The study was conducted according to EU Method C.4-A and is considered reliable. This is selected as the key study.
