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),
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 (e.g. machine wash liquids/detergents, automotive care products, paints and coating or adhesives, fragrances and air fresheners).
This substance can be found in products with material based on:
fabrics, textiles and apparel (e.g. clothing, mattress, curtains or carpets, textile toys) and
