Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

GP is an organophosphate nerve agent of the G-series, [1] with a relatively slow rate of hydrolysis, and thus high stability and persistence in the environment. [2]

GP is 4 times less volatile than soman and 1.5 times more toxic. [3]
