P-PHENYLENEDIAMINE
This record confirms an official common ingredient name for EU cosmetic product labelling. It does not by itself confirm that the substance is permitted, unrestricted or safe.
Global evidence snapshot
The resolved identity has matching regulatory evidence in 7 of 13 indexed market datasets: 12 country records and 0 EU Annex records. Every result and evidence gap is listed below.
A missing local match is not permission, approval or proof of safety. It means no strong identity match was resolved in that indexed dataset.

- Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF value of 0.3 was calculated for 1,4-benzenediamine(SRC), using a measured log Kow of -0.3(1,SRC) and a recommended regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF value suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). An experimental BCF value of 450 was measured for algae exposed to 1,4-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride for 24 hours(4). An experimental BCF value of 6 was measured for fish (golden ide) exposed to 1,4-diaminobenzene dihydrochloride for 3 days(4). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow of -0.30(2), and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,4-benzenediamine is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC); however it may form covalent bonds to humic material which would limit movement through soil(4). Volatilization of 1,4-benzenediamine is not expected from moist soil surfaces(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.7X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), using a fragment constant estimation method(5). Volatilization of 1,4-benzenediamine from dry soil surfaces is not expected(SRC) based on an extrapolated vapor pressure of 0.005 mm Hg(SRC) at 25 °C(6). Biodegradation is expected to occur slowly in soils based on standard biodegradability tests conducted with activated sludge(7-11). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a recommended classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 16(SRC), determined from a measured log Kow of -0.30(2), and a recommended regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 1,4-benzenediamine is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). 1,4-benzenediamine is not expected to volatilize from water surfaces(3,SRC) based on an estimated Henry's Law constant of 6.7X10-10 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4). Degradation of 1,4-benzenediamine by photochemically produced peroxy radicals will be an important environmental fate process in surface waters(5,SRC). The half-life of this reaction is estimated as 1 day for a solution concentration of 1X10-9 M of peroxy radicals and an estimated rate constant of 1X10+4 L/mol-s(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF value of 0.3(3,SRC), from a measured log Kow of -0.3(2,SRC), suggests that bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Biodegradation in aquatic environments is not expected to be an important environmental fate process(SRC). A 0% theoretical oxygen demand was observed for 1,4-benzenediamine in a Warbu Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
- Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 1,4-benzenediamine, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 0.005 mm Hg at 25 °C(2,SRC), is expected to exist primarily as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 1,4-benzenediamine is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be about 2 hours(3,SRC).

Research this identityContinue the compliance check
1. Confirm identity
Match the supplier specification, CAS/EC identifiers and composition to this official label name. Similar wording is not proof of chemical equivalence.
2. Review restrictions
Check every exact Annex record shown above, plus CMR, nanomaterial, SCCS and later-amendment requirements that may apply.
3. Verify the formula
Evaluate concentration, product type, purity, warnings, claims and each target market before making a compliance decision.
