REACH - Registration

SUBSTANCE• REACH is a SUBSTANCE Regulation

• Estimated 30,000 substances used in Europe

• Toluene is a substanceXylene is a mixture of substances

most “raw materials” will be mixtures

Polymers do not have to be registered (provided the monomers are registered)

WHAT IS PAINT?

• PIGMENT – for colour and opacity

• BINDER – for physical performance

• SOLVENT – to aid/allow application

WHAT IS PAINT?• PIGMENT• BINDER• SOLVENT and:

• FLOW ADDITIVE• THICKENER• WETTING ADDITIVE• CATALYST• UV STABILISER• SLIP/ANTI-SCRATCH ADDITIVE• BRIGHTENER• SPECIAL EFFECT ADDITIVE• SLOW/FAST SOLVENT TO CHANGE DRYING SPEED• FLEXIBILISER• ……………………………….

REACH COMPLIANCE

THREE LEGS:

• SUBSTANCE

• SUPPLIER

• IDENTIFIED USE

SUPPLIER

• Manufacturer/Importer of Substance is responsible for REGISTRATION

• Most users of chemicals are “Downstream users”, according to REACH

• Your Supplier may not be the person responsible for Registration

• Requires communication up/down supply chain

REACH COMPLIANCE

THREE LEGS:

• SUBSTANCE

• SUPPLIER

• IDENTIFIED USE

IDENTIFIED USE• Identified Use must be included in the

registration

• Downstream user (e.g. PAINT) can only use the substance if his use is identified

• Requires communication up/down supply chain

• Identified Use not yet defined!(RIP 3.5 –

Dec07/Jan08)

REACH COMPLIANCE

MAJOR THREATS

• Increased price of raw materials – as REACH COST is passed on down the supply chain

• Substances which may not be supported by the supplier - REFORMULATION

• Substances of high risk that will require AUTHORISATION

- use in your factory- se by your customers

• Workload/cost of collating data through the supply chain – PAPERWORK

SO WHAT SHOULD I DO?

AWARENESS:

• All key staff aware of REACH

• Impact on business understood

ANALYSIS:

• Number of materials used understood

• Suppliers position recorded

• Business impact understood

ACTION

• Product-specific actions (No change, Stop Sales, Re-formulate………….)

ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (1):

RAW MATERIALS SOURCED IN EUROPE

• Catalogue all raw materials used in products you manufacture

• Identify the supplier for each raw material

• Contact suppliers – confirm:• pre-register • Register• include your identified use

ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (2):

CONSIDER OTHER MATERIALS

• Products/Resins/Raw materials you import into Europe

• Substances you manufacture

• Ancillary chemicals (cleaning materials….)

ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (3):

AUTHORISED SUBSTANCES

• Consider options:

• Reformulate

• Seek Authorisation (with supplier)

• Stop sales (from 2010……)

Examples of CMR 1&2

• Strontium Chromate / Zinc Chromate

• Lead pigments (colour pigments, lead silicate)

• Di-Octyl Phthalate

•Dibutyltin compounds (new classification)

• N-methylPyrrolidine (new classification)

ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (4):

COMMUNICATION WITH CUSTOMERS

• Prepare to answer questions from your customers (continuity of supply…)

• Prepare to discuss “identified use”

• MSDS• New requirements from 1 June 2007

(Email address, Section 2 & 3 reversed)• Check and implement the changes

SUMMARY

• Know your formulations• Talk to your suppliers

• Anticipate questions from your customers

• COMMUNICATE!
