Pigments: oldest nanomaterials in human history facing modern day challenges
“Many pigments have been produced in the same way over several decades without any concerns on employee, consumer, or environmental safety.
|
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, with nano-specific requirements in force, the reporting and safety obligations increased even though the product itself or information on its safety have not changed at all.”
Read the latest guest column from Dr Heike Liewald and Giuliana Beck from Eurocolour e.V. who talk about nanopigments, and how pigment, dye and filler industries are managing in the current EU legislative landscape.
