The report is intended to outline the main findings of the risk assessment and explain that human exposure to cyclic esters from polyester pre-polymers in food packaging adhesives is not relevant from a toxicological point of view.
FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, recently announced that it has published a Summary Report of a FEICA risk assessment carried out on cyclic esters potentially present in polyester adhesives intended to be used in food contact materials.
The amendments are expected to reduce emissions of hazardous air pollutants from the source category by 107 tons per year, which includes reductions in ethylene oxide emission of approximately 0.76 tons per year.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced final amendments to the Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants to reduce hazardous air pollutants.
The EPA reports that this new rule will increase the transparency of the agency’s practices around guidance and will improve its process for managing guidance documents.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced its a proposed rule to establish consistent requirements and procedures for the issuance of guidance documents.
Engineers, architects, specifiers, facility managers, and homeowners must spend time analyzing what performance levels can be obtained by the adhesive and sealant products that are available to them for the environments in which they are being used.
With increasing consolidation among adhesives manufacturers and the raw material suppliers that support them, global product formulation and availability of materials used in these formulations continue to grow in importance.
Consumers expect the food industry to provide safe products that comply with the latest regulations. FEICA, the Association of the European Adhesive and Sealant Industry, recommends avoiding the use of epoxy silanes in food contact applications, and the European Union is expected to set new limits during the course of this year. These limits will require complex testing methods that lead to challenges for converters and packaging manufacturers.
The EPA plans to initiate a new rulemaking process to consider proposing exemptions to the current TSCA Fees Rule’s self-identification requirements associated with EPA-initiated risk evaluations for certain manufacturers.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced a plan to consider a proposed rule that would look at potential exemptions to the TSCA Fees Rule in response to stakeholder concerns about implementation challenges.
The EPA is extending the reporting period for CDR data submitters from September 30 to November 30 in order to provide additional time for the regulated community to familiarize themselves with these revisions.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced that it is finalizing amendments to the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) rule that reduce the burden for certain CDR reporters, improve the quality of CDR data collected, and align reporting requirements with the Lautenberg Act amendments to the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
The impacts of chemical-related incidents can be mitigated by following the latest European Chemical Industry Council guidelines for level-1 emergency response.
Companies involved in the manufacture, management, and distribution of chemicals need to ensure that their systems and processes have suitable features to support a fast and effective response intervention when the worst happens.
The Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA) has published the 2019 edition of its Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) manual, “TSCA Compliance: A Company Guide,” to serve as an industry resource for companies looking to develop and implement a site-specific TSCA compliance program.
Specialty chemical supply chains are particularly dependent on China because many inputs are unavailable elsewhere, which makes the specialty chemicals industry uniquely vulnerable to the 301 tariffs.
In recent testimony before the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Section 301 Committee, the Society of Chemical Manufacturers & Affiliates (SOCMA) called for the delisting of Chinese-origin chemicals from the proposed Tranche 4, which would add an additional $13.2 billion in chemicals and plastics imports.
