On 7th Sept. 2016, the European Chemicals Agency(ECHA) published a public consultation on six proposals to identify new substances of very high concern(SVHC). The deadline for comments is 21st October 2016, and detail information about these four proposal SVHCs are as below:
|
Substance |
Application |
||
|
4,4’-isopropylidenediphenol (bisphenol A)
EC：201-245-8 CAS：80-05-7 |
France |
Toxic for reproduction |
Used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and thermal paper, as a hardener for epoxy resins and as an anti-oxidant for processing PVC. |
|
4-Heptylphenol, branched and linear [substances with a linear and/or branched alkyl chain with a carbon number of 7 covalently bound predominantly in position 4 to phenol, covering also UVCB- and well-defined substances which include any of the individual isomers or a combination thereof]
EC：--- CAS：--- |
Austria |
Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment |
Polymers derived from the substances in the group are used in lubricant additives such as detergents, metal deactivators and corrosion inhibitors. |
|
4-tert-butylphenol
EC：202-679-0 CAS：98-54-4 |
Germany |
Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment |
Used in coating products, polymers, adhesives and sealants and for the synthesis of other substances. |
|
Benzene-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid 1,2-anhydride (trimellitic anhydride)
EC：209-008-0 CAS：552-30-7 |
Netherlands |
Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to human health |
Used in the manufacture of esters and polymers and as a laboratory chemical. |
|
Nonadecafluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and its sodium and ammonium salts
EC：-, 206-400-3, 221-470-5 CAS：3108-42-7, 335-76-2, 3830-45-3 |
Sweden |
Toxic for reproduction; PBT |
Not yet registered under REACH but used as a plasticiser, lubricant, surfactant, wetting agent and corrosion inhibitor. Belongs to the group of long-chain perfluoroalkyl substances. |
|
p-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenol
EC：201-280-9 CAS：80-46-6 |
Germany |
Equivalent level of concern having probable serious effects to the environment |
Used in polymers and for the synthesis of other substances. |
According to the past practices, the four proposals are likely to be added to the SVHC candidate list after public consultation, STQ remind you pay high attention on it.
