REACH analysis for polymers
Overview of REACH analysis for polymers
REACH in a nutshell...
First of all, REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) is the European regulation requiring all manufacturers and importers of chemical substances, including mixtures, placing more than one tonne per year on the market to register these substances with the ECHA (European Chemicals Agency).
Because of the potentially large number of different polymer substances on the
market, and since polymer molecules are generally considered to
present a low risk due to their high molecular weight, they are exempt from registration and evaluation under the REACH regulation.
What about REACH regulations for polymers?
To date, polymers are exempt from REACH registration processes. Indeed, polymers are not regulated as such. However, polymers may be subject to other authorisations or restrictions.
Under the REACH regulation, manufacturers and importers of chemical substances, including polymer monomers, must register with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and provide information on the safety of these substances.
