Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
- 1,1'-(methylenedi-p-phenylene) bismaleimide
- Type of composition:
- boundary composition of the substance
- State / form:
- solid: particulate/powder
- Reference substance:
- 1,1'-(methylenedi-p-phenylene) bismaleimide
- PBT status:
- the substance is not PBT / vPvB
- Justification:
BMI is not readily biodegradable but the short hydrolysis half-life indicates that the parent compound is not persistent. Since no information is available on the persistence of the degradation products, BMI should be considered to be potentially persistent. BMI is not considered bioaccumulative (B) on the basis of a low experimentally-derived octanol-water partition coefficient (log Kow). BMI does not meet the criteria for toxicity (T) in terms of the hazard to humans, although should be considered toxic (T) with respect to the environmental criteria. Therefore, the substance as a whole can be considered not PBT/vPvB.
Reference
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.
