Product stewardship

Knowing what is in our products, and telling our customers clearly.

Product stewardship

From raw material to finished grade

Product stewardship means managing the safety of a product through its whole life: the raw materials we choose, how the product is made and transported, how customers use it, and what happens at the end. We hold composition data for every grade we sell, which is what makes accurate safety and regulatory documents possible.

How we work

  • Classification by calculation. The hazard classification on each safety data sheet is calculated from the actual composition of that grade under GHS and EU CLP rules, including specific concentration limits and M-factors.
  • Restricted-substance screening. Formulations are screened against lists such as REACH Annex XVII, the REACH candidate list (SVHC), RoHS and relevant Indian rules before release.
  • Safer substitution. When a raw material is reclassified or restricted, we look for a replacement rather than only updating the label. For example, we replace substances newly classified as toxic for reproduction in our dispersion formulations.
  • Market positioning. Regulatory summaries state the position for food contact, toys and cosmetics with the conditions that apply, and are confirmed per grade.
  • Transport. Each SDS carries the transport classification for road, sea and air.
