Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adsorption/Desoprtion:

3,3´-dichlorobenzidine (DCB) is readily adsorbed by aquatic sediments. Depending on the carbon content, sediment-water partition coefficients between 20 to 128 have been determined. With prolonged contact time, a transition from physical adsorption to covalent bonds by condensation reactions of amino groups of DCB with carbonyl groups of the organic carbon content of the sediment might be the reason for the ever reduced desoprtion observed with time.

Henry´s law constant:

H (3,3´-dichlororbenzidine) = Ps/Cs = 5*10(-5)Pa * m3* mol(-1)(at 20 -25 °C); therefore, volatility of DCB form aquatic solutions is expected to be low.
