Description of key information

Benzenediamine, ar-methyl-, polymer with methyloxirane and oxirane will be rapidly degraded by photochemical processes after evaporation or exposure to the air.


 


 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in air:
1.8 h

Additional information


Estimated second-order rate constants for reaction of hydroxyl radical with lowest and highest-molecular weight homologues of the UVCB substance range from 2.8E-11 to 1.1E-10cm3/molecule*sec. Corresponding half-lives range from 1.0 (higest molecular homolgue) to 1.8 hours (lowest molecular homologue), based on a default hydroxyl radical concentration of 500,000 molecules/cm3. The longest estimated half-life, associated with the lowest-molecular weight homologue, is used to represent the atmospheric half-life of all homologous components of the UVCB substance in the chemical safety assessment.
