Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

PBT assessment
Administrative data
PBT assessment: overall result
- Name:
- 461-58-5_Cyanoguanidine
- Type of composition:
- boundary composition of the substance
- State / form:
- solid: particulate/powder
- Reference substance:
- 461-58-5_Cyanoguanidine
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
In surface water simulation test (pelagic test design, OECD guideline 309) no biological degradation of dicyandiamide could be demonstrated. The DT50 for primary biological degradation was calculated to be > 1000 d. Thus, dicyandiamide fulfills one vP criterion according to Annex XIII to REACH. Because of the log octanol-water partition coefficient of -1.0, its high water-solubility, and due to its polar nature and pKa, dicyandiamide will not adsorb to soil and sediment hence can be considered to be mobile in the environment. For the same reasons dicyandiamide will not be taken up by fish gills or across other biological membranes. Therefore, dicyandiamide will not bioaccumulate and does not fulfill the B/vB criteria. The toxicity (T) criteria specified in REACH Annex XIII are not fulfilled. Therefore, dicyandiamide does not qualify for categorisation as PBT or vPvB.

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).
