Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Experiment I:

After UVB-irradiation of PR 22 in solvents the decomposition products 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline (2,5 -MNA), 4 -nitrotoluene (4 -NT) were detectable. After sunlight exposure either 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT or neither pigment nor decomposition products were detectable, depending on the solvent used. These data indicate that sunlight can cause complete mineralization.

Experiment II:

Pigment reduction during 42 days was about

- 32% in untreated skin;

- 60% in solar light treated skin;

- 51% in laser treated skin.

In laser treated skin 2-methyl-5-nitroaniline (2,5 -MNA), 4 -nitrotoluene (4 -NT) and naphtol AS (NAS) were detectable as decomposition products. The authors calculated that about 8% of decomposed PR 22 was directly detected as 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT.

In solar light treated skin no 2,5 -MNA and 4 -NT products were detectable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In vitro and in vivo investigations revealed that Pigment Red 22 can be decomposed by laser and sunlight.
