Chemicals compliance

ECHA has identified 6 new substances such as SVHC.

The substances are:

  1. Undecafluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) (EC 206-196-6; CAS 307-24-4) and its salts (APFHx) (EC 244-479-6; CAS 21615-47-4). There are no known direct uses of PFHxA as such. The precursors of PFHxA can be used as surfactants or as monomers for the production of fluorinated side-chain polymers.
  2. 2,2-bis (4'-hydroxyphenyl) -4-methylpentane (EC 401-720-1; CAS 6807-17-6). There are no active registrations under REACH.
  3. Fluoranthene (EC 205-912-4; CAS 206-44-0). There are no registrations under REACH. Normally it is not intentionally produced but rather occurs as an impurity in other substances.
  4. Benzo [k] fluoranthene (EC 205-916-6; CAS 207-08-9). There are no registrations under REACH. Normally it is not intentionally produced but rather occurs as an impurity in other substances.
  5. Pyrene (EC 204-927-3; CAS 129-00-0). Used as an intermediate transported for the production of chemical products.
  6. Phenanthrene (EC 201-581-5; CAS 85-01-8). There are no registrations under REACH. Normally it is not intentionally produced but rather occurs as an impurity in other substances.
