Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Phototransformation in air is not relevant due to vapour pressure (< 1 Pa at 20 °C)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No experimental studies investigating the phototransformation in air of OPP (CAS No. 90-43-7) are available. Based on a QSAR calculation using AOPWIN v1.92, OPP is susceptible to indirect photodegradation in air (Beiell, 2004). The estimated half-life for the reaction with OH-radicals is 0.6 days (24h day; OH-concentration: 0.5E+06 OH/cm3). However, photodegradation is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since OPP is not expected to evaporate into the atmosphere due to its low vapor pressure of < 1 Pa at 20 °C. As this study is not a standard information requirement in REACh and there is no indication from the Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) on the need to investigate further the fate and behaviour of the substance (Annex X requirement), no further testing is considered necessary for the test substance.
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.
