Description of key information

Dapsone is a crystalline white to off-white powder with no detectable odor and low relative density equal to 0.8201 at 20°C.The diameter of Dapsone particles is from 0.31 µm to 301.68 µm. The value of its melting point is 175oC and its boiling point estimated to be 438°C. A read across approach to 3,3’-DDS has been utilized to fulfil the information requirements for vapour pressure (< 1.5x10-3 Pa) and surface tension (73.6 mN/m at 20°C).


Dapsone is moderately soluble in water (380 mg/L at 20oC) and is soluble in alcohol, methanol, acetone and dilute hydrochloric acid. Dapsone has no oxidizing properties, is not considered flammable and is not explosive.
