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.

Additional information

7PPD has a relatively high Koc value of 11480 (calculated). As the hydrolyis occurs fast (half-life 5.15h) also the hydrolysis product(s) are taken into account. For 4 -Hydroxydiphenylamine, the Koc was calculated to be 398.

The distribution of the parent compound and the two hydrolysis products 4 -hydroxydiphenylamin and N-Phenyl-p-benzoquinone monoimine was calculated using the Mackay distribution model:

 Compartment  7PPD

4-hydroxydiphenylamine

N-phenyl-p-benzoquinone monoimine

 Air (%)  0.17  0.16 0.09 
 Water (%)  4.06  95.87  99.2
 Soil (%)  47.43  2.19  0.39
 Sediment (%)  47.95  1.77  0.32
 Suspended sediment (%)  0.3  0.014  0.003
 Biota (%)  0.03  0.001  0.0002
 Aerosol (%)  0.06  0.001  0.0001
       

The model indicates that the parent compound has a high affinity to soil and sediment whereas the primary hydrolysis products are expected to be distributed mainly in water.

It should be mentioned here that the distribution modelling gives only a rough indication about the distribution of a substance in the environment. Paraphenylenediamins are transported to the environment mainly by tyre abrasion. Tyre road wear particles are distributed differently than estimated by the distribution model: About 78% end up in soil and about 22% in water and sediment (Danish EPA 2015). Thus, soil is the most relevant compartment.
