Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Biomonitoring data of workers from the rubber industry revealed 6PPD in urine, thereby demonstrating that the substance can be resorbed from the respiratory tract and possibly after dermal contact (Carlucci 1984, Rimatori and Castellino, 1989)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Bioaccumulation potential:
- no bioaccumulation potential
Additional information
In an in vitro approach the hydrolysis rate and hydrolysis products of 6PPD in simulated gastric juice were evaluated (Monsanto Co. 1986a). During a 48-hours observation period 60 % of 6PPD was hydrolyzed. Based on the data obtained a hydrolysis rate of -0.0188 and a half-life of 36.9 hours were calculated. The approximate solubility of 6PPD in gastric juice was determined to be 173 mg/l. The major observed hydrolysis product was aniline. A trace of two intermediate hydrolysis products, benzoquinoneimine-N-phenyl, and N-1,3 dimethyl-butylamine p-phenol were detected.
There are no in vivo toxicokinetics studies of 6PPD available. However, some conclusions can be drawn from acute and repeated dose toxicity studies. The appearance of systemic toxicity after oral and dermal exposure shows the principal bioavailability of 6PPD via these routes.

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.
