Consumer Uses
ECHA has no public registered data indicating whether or in which chemical products the substance might be used. ECHA has no public registered data on the routes by which this substance is most likely to be released to the environment.
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) 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).
This substance can be found in products with material based on:
stone, plaster, cement, glass or ceramic (e.g. dishes, pots/pans, food storage containers, construction and isolation material) and
metal (e.g. cutlery, pots, toys, jewellery).
