Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The test substance is covered by the category approach of methylenediphenyl diisocyanates (MDI). Hence, data of the category substances can be used to cover this endpoint. The read-across category justification document is attached in IUCLID section 13. It is important to note that the MDI category approach for read-across of environmental and human hazards between the MDI substances belonging to the MDI category is work in progress under REACH. Therefore the read-across document should be considered a draft.

No specific degradation rates are available. MDI is not predicted to occur in appreciable concentrations in water, sediment, soil and air. Biotic degradation is not considered to be the main removal mechanism. Due to the rapid reaction with water (hydrolysis T1/2 = 20 hours), any attempt with biodegradation test to measure biological removal, will measure the biodegradation of the hydrolysis products.
