Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Based on the Level III Fugacity Model, the half life period of the disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl) azo] naphthalene-2-sulphonate was estimated. The half of disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate in water is 38 days (912 hrs) based on which it is considered that the substance will qualify as not persistent.

The half life of the substance in sediment is estimated as 340 days (8160 hrs). Based on this value, it can be inferred that the substance is persistent in sediment medium. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life in freshwater:
38 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C
Half-life in freshwater sediment:
340 d
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Based on the Level III Fugacity Model (PBT Profiler), the half life period of the disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl) azo] naphthalene-2-sulphonate was estimated. The half of disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate in water is 38 days (912 hrs) based on which it is considered that the substance will qualify as not persistent.

The half life of the substance in sediment is estimated as 340 days (8160 hrs). Based on this value, it can be inferred that the substance is persistent in sediment medium.
