phenylenediamine Light Bartsch



Phenylenediamine (PPD) is hair dye and the physical properties are the scent of paint, looks like different coloured liquid, tastes awful. I don't know why you would want to taste it anyways.And it sounds like nothing, and feels cold and wet. Three chemical changes is colour change, difficult to reverse, and flammable. The chemical formula is C6H8N2. This dangerous chemical is found in tattoo's, hair dye, ink print, black rubber, dark clothing, fur, and textile dyes. This chemical can cause breast cancer, bladder cancer and leukemia. There is no treatment for this. Some suggestions are to never re-use gloves, (for hair dye) and don't use black coloured gloves because they have PPD in them. Read the labels on hair dyes and try using PPD free dyes.


My opinion for this chemical called Phenylenediamine is that they should not be allowed in such things as hair dye and tattoo's because of the risks of the effects. Not all people can have the effects from this chemical. But to be safe and to prevent more cancer causing, that is why I would say not to have this chemical in such products.-

  12. What happens if someone swallows, inhales or gets it in their eyes or on their skin? What measures should be taken to avoid extreme damage?

    I love the colours. Watch your grammar though. Sometimes, it is a bit difficult to read.
