Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
P-PP does not biodegrade. The results of the ready biodegradability test, determined by three different measures were:
- Degradation by BOD: 0%, 0%, 0%
- Degradation by TOC method: 2%, 2%, 5%
- Degradation by HPLC method: 12%, 14%, 18%
REACH Annex IX Section 9.2 States that further biodegradation testing shall be proposed if the chemical safety assessment according to Annex I indicates the need to investigate further the degradation of the substance andits degradation product. P-PP does not biodegrade and does not have groups that are hydrolysable. In addition, P-PP is imported into the EU and used at a limited number of sites where it is added to and reacts with resins. After the reaction, P-PP no longer exists. Water is not used in the process nor is it used for cleaning. Direct emissions to water are therefore very unlikely and good practice industrial hygiene will minimise indirect exposure. Therefore, further testing to determine ultimate degradation is not justified.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
