2020.07.29
Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. (Head office: Tokyo; President, Yasuhiko Saitoh) has developed a new improved type of silicone emulsions.
In the latest list concerning the EU’s REACH Regulations* some actions
are being proposed to reduce the concentration of specific siloxanes contained in some applications of silicone products
to less than 0.1 %. The specific type of siloxanes concerned are not the kind that raise any issues regarding human health and the environment.
Nevertheless, in order to meet the requests of our customers and in consideration of the trend in REACH regulations, Shin-Etsu has developed new silicone emulsion products.
The new silicone emulsions
that were developed with a high level of purification technology lower the concentration of specific siloxanes to comply with the trend in REACH regulations.
At the same time, compared to existing products, the stability of our silicone emulsions has also been improved.
