About
A methoxy-substituted aromatic amine hair dye component with extensive hazard classifications including environmental toxicity.
This p-methoxylated phenylenediamine derivative is used as a primary intermediate in oxidative hair dyeing. It carries an unusually extensive set of EU hazard classifications: H302 (harmful if swallowed), H315 (causes skin irritation), H317 (may cause allergic skin reaction), H319 (causes serious eye irritation), H373 (may cause organ damage through prolonged exposure), H400 (very toxic to aquatic life), H410/H411/H412 (aquatic toxicity classifications). The combination of sensitisation, organ toxicity, and environmental hazard classifications indicates significant regulatory concern.

- H317 skin sensitiser
- H373 organ toxicity (prolonged exposure)
