Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In mechanistic studies, the reaction of paraphenylenediamines with oxygene and ozone radicals was studied.

  • Reaction with oxygene: Formation of quinone-diimines followed by oxidation of the nitrogene forming N-oxides.
  • Quninone-diimines may also react to mono-quinoneimines which might further react to p-benzoquinone
  • Reaction with ozone: Addition of ozone to nitrogene with cleavage of the C-N structure forming N-oxides. Quinone-iminines and N-oxides are reactive species which might further react forming higher and more complex molecules.
