REACH COMPLIANCE THREE LEGS: SUBSTANCE SUPPLIER IDENTIFIED USE
4
REACH - Registration SUBSTANCE REACH is a SUBSTANCE Regulation Estimated 30,000 substances used in Europe Toluene is a substance Xylene is a mixture of substances most “raw materials” will be mixtures Polymers do not have to be registered (provided the monomers are registered)
5
WHAT IS PAINT? PIGMENT – for colour and opacity BINDER – for physical performance SOLVENT – to aid/allow application
6
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
11
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
12
IMPACT THROUGH THE SUPPLY CHAIN Chemical Manufacturer Chemical Manufacturer Chemical manufacturer Chemical Manufacturer Raw Material Supplier Paint Manufacturer Customer (Paint User) MSDS Recommended protection methods Identified Use Exposure data REACH COMPLIANCE
13
THREE LEGS: SUBSTANCE SUPPLIER IDENTIFIED USE
14
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
15
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
16
Registration of new Substances Agency start-up >1000tonnes CMR 1, 2 > 1 t R50/53 > 100t 100-1000 tonnes 1-100 tonnes 1 December 2010 1 June 2013 1 June 2018 1 June 2007 1 June 2008 1 December 2008 REACH - TIMELINE Phase-in substances registration Pre-registration
17
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………….)
18
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
19
ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (2): CONSIDER OTHER MATERIALS Products/Resins/Raw materials you import into Europe Substances you manufacture Ancillary chemicals (cleaning materials….)
20
ACTIONS REQUIRED NOW (3): AUTHORISED SUBSTANCES Consider options: Reformulate Seek Authorisation (with supplier) Stop sales (from 2010……)
21
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)
22
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
23
SUMMARY Know your formulations Talk to your suppliers Anticipate questions from your customers COMMUNICATE!
