Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Photochemical oxidation is made by molecular oxygen. Influence of light intensity, temperature and oxygen pressure on rate of photooxidation is investigated. Results of ultraviolet spectroscopy are given in connection to kinetic absorption.
GLP compliance:
no

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

migrated dataset:
It is reported that two bands of maximal absorption (236 nm and 289 nm) were determined.

SIDS (2005):

P-Toluidine has UV absorption which extends beyond 290 nm (Méallier, 1969) and may potentially undergo direct photolysis in the environment due to absorbance of environmental UV light.
