Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

DINP is readily biodegradable and is not expected to persist in the environment, based on results from standard ready biodegradation tests, simulation tests, and a study that assessed DINP loss from soil. The biological half-life of DINP in the aquatic environment is 10.3 days, approximately 1 day under wastewater treatment conditions, and 51 days in the soil compartment. Studies are not available to assess the biodegradability of DINP in sediment. However, the monoester of DINP (mono-isononyl phthalate) demonstrated an average half-life of 23 hours in aerobic marine sediments. Because the formation of the monoester occurs as the first step in the biotic degradation of DINP and because this step does not appear to be rate limiting, as evidenced by the high extent of biodegradation demonstrated by DINP in a ready test, the degradation of the diester in aerobic sediment is expected to occur at a similar high rate as demonstrated in soil.
