Description of key information

The calculated atmospheric oxidation rate constant of  1,3-Diazetidine-2,4-dione, 1,3-bis(6-isocyanatohexyl), the main constituent of HDI Uretdion (n = 2) is 25.0 * E-12cm3/(molecule *sec) and its atmospheric half-life is 15.4 hrs at 25 °C. The value is a result of a QSAR estimation  (Currenta, 2014 c).
The atmospheric oxidation rate constant of the corresponding diamine of the main constituent of HDI Uretdion (n=2) is 86.1 * E-12cm3/(molecule *s) and its atmospheric half-life is 4.5 hrs at 25 °C (Currenta, 2014 d).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
15.4 h

Additional information

The substance hydrolyses rapidly with a half-life of far less than 24 hours, approx. 6.1 hours. Therefore, an experimental study with HDI Uretdion is scientifically unjustified. The hydrolysis product is a complex mixture of water-insoluble oligomeric and polymeric ureas and of 1,3-Diazetidine-2,4-dione, 1,3-bis(6-isocyanatohexyl), the main constituent of HDI Uretdion, where the isocyanate groups have been transformed to amino groups.

Although being a more theoretical approach, an ideal structure the "corresponding diamine of HDI Uretdion (n=2) was considered in order to get an estimation on the behaviour of the hydrolysed product in air. For both, the unreacted HDI Uretdion (n=2) as well as for the corresponding diamine of HDI Uretdion (n=2), calculated values with two estimation methods are presented.
