Consumer Uses
This substance is used in the following products:
fillers, putties, plasters, modelling clay.
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
indoor use.
Article service life
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
of articles where the substances are not intended to be released and where the conditions of use do not promote release,
industrial abrasion processing with low release rate (e.g. cutting of textile, cutting, machining or grinding of metal) and
industrial abrasion processing with high release rate (e.g. sanding operations or paint stripping by shot-blasting).
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. metal, wooden and plastic construction and building materials),
indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment),
outdoor use in long-life materials with high release rate (e.g. tyres, treated wooden products, treated textile and fabric, brake pads in trucks or cars, sanding of buildings (bridges, facades) or vehicles (ships)) and
indoor use in long-life materials with high release rate (e.g. release from fabrics, textiles during washing, removal of indoor paints).
This substance can be found in complex articles, with no release intended:
vehicles,
machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products (e.g. computers, cameras, lamps, refrigerators, washing machines),
machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products e.g. refrigerators, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, computers, telephones, drills, saws, smoke detectors, thermostats, radiators, large-scale stationary industrial tools),
electrical batteries and accumulators and
vehicles not covered by End of Life Vehicles (ELV) directive (e.g. boats, trains, metro or planes).
This substance can be found in products with material based on:
metal (e.g. cutlery, pots, toys, jewellery) and
stone, plaster, cement, glass or ceramic (e.g. dishes, pots/pans, food storage containers, construction and isolation material).
Widespread uses by professional workers
This substance is used in the following products:
metals,
welding & soldering products and
semiconductors.
ECHA has no public registered data on the types of manufacture using this substance.
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
indoor use and
outdoor use resulting in inclusion into or onto a materials (e.g. binding agent in paints and coatings or adhesives).
Formulation or re-packing
This substance is used in the following products:
semiconductors and
metal surface treatment products.
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
formulation in materials and
formulation of mixtures.
Uses at industrial sites
This substance is used in the following products:
coating products and
inks and toners.
This substance has
an industrial use resulting in manufacture of another substance (use of intermediates).
This substance is used in the following areas:
formulation of mixtures and/or re-packaging and
printing and recorded media reproduction.
This substance is used for the manufacture of:
chemicals,
fabricated metal products and
electrical, electronic and optical equipment.
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
in the production of articles,
as an intermediate step in further manufacturing of another substance (use of intermediates),
in processing aids at industrial sites and
of substances in closed systems with minimal release.
Manufacture
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
manufacturing of the substance.
