Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The biodegradation of 2,4-dichloro aniline, being the hydrolysis product of 2,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate, is 0 % after 28 days. The substance has to be considered as "Not readily biodegradable" (MITI-online, 1990).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Isocyanates are known to rapidly hydrolyse under the formation of the corresponding amine. Thus, it is not possible to obtain a stable concentration of 2,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate over the whole test duration due to its rapid hydrolysis and observed effects would be rather caused by the transformation product (2,4-dichloro aniline) than by the original substance itself. Concluding, results obtained through the testing of 2,4-dichloro aniline can be used to assess the risk of 2,4-dichlorophenyl isocyanate towards aquatic organisms as well.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
