Consumer Uses
This substance is used in the following products:
washing & cleaning products,
lubricants and greases,
adhesives and sealants,
polishes and waxes,
fertilisers,
coating products and
air care products.
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
indoor use (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners),
outdoor use,
indoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. cooling liquids in refrigerators, oil-based electric heaters) and
outdoor use in close systems with minimal release (e.g. hydraulic liquids in automotive suspension, lubricants in motor oil and break fluids).
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:
indoor use in long-life materials with high release rate (e.g. release from fabrics, textiles during washing, removal of indoor paints),
outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. metal, wooden and plastic construction and building materials),
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 low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment).
This substance can be found in complex articles, with no release intended:
machinery, mechanical appliances and electrical/electronic products (e.g. computers, cameras, lamps, refrigerators, washing machines) and
vehicles.
This substance can be found in products with material based on:
metal (e.g. cutlery, pots, toys, jewellery),
fabrics, textiles and apparel (e.g. clothing, mattress, curtains or carpets, textile toys),
