Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusion (indirect photodegradation): DINP has the potential to degrade rapidly by OH- attack.  However, multimedia distribution modeling indicates DINP is predicted to partition negligibly (<0.1%) to the air compartment because it has a low vapor pressure (0.00006 Pa). Although DINP has arelatively short atmospheric oxidation half-life (5.5 hours),  this process is unlikely to contribute significantly to the loss of DINP from the environment.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Indirect photochemical degradation of DINP as mediated by hydroxyl radical (OH-) attack is estimated to have a half-life of 0.46 days or 5.5 hours based on a 12-hour sunlight day, a rate of 2.34E-11 cm³/molecule*sec, and an average OH-concentration of 1.5E6 OH-/cm3 (USEPA, 2000). A 12-hour day half-life value normalizes degradation to a standard day light period during which hydroxyl radicals needed for photolysis are generated in the atmosphere.
