Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information

The lowest effect values for 6PPD and the degradation products was found fo p-Hydroquinone (EC50 0.335 mg/L) and for 4HDPA (NOEC 0.23 mg/L.)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for freshwater algae:
0.335 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
0.23 mg/L

Additional information

Algae studies:

p-Hydroquinone is the (secondary) hydrolysis product of 6PPD. The effect concentration of this substance was used as a key value as it represents the worst case. The lowest NOEC for algae was found in a study for 4 -HDPA. Supporting information from experimental and from calculated data is given for the degradation products of 6PPD, 4 -hydroxydiphenylamine and N-phenyl-p-benzoquinone-imine. The results of these studies are effect levels higher than those stated for the key studies.

The read-across justification is attached in a separate document in chapter 13 IUCLID.
