Additional information
There is one study available evaluating photodegradation potential of DAPD (McLaughlin, 2004). This test was performed on N,N'-bis(2 -methylphenyl)benzene-1,4 -diamine (R-898; 20 to 30% of DAPD) as a surrogate for the entire test material. The substance was radiolabeled with 14C, making accurate quantification of the degradation kinetics possible with HPLC/beta counting. The substance was tested in two aqueous buffers (pH 6 and 8) at a concentration of 0.1 mg/L. Samples were exposed to xenon arc illumination with a radiation distribution which is similar to natural sunlight (photoperiod 12/12 light/dark). The experimental half-lives determined were 2.5 and 4.7 days at pH 6 and 8 respectively. These were then adjusted to compensate for actual external environments (natural sunshine) resulting in estimated half -lives of 0.94 and 1.78 days at pH 6 and 8 respectively. The value at pH 8 was used for further assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
