FEICA publishes Position Paper on manufacturers of low-volume customised polymers at the end of the supply chain

Formulators at the end of supply chains such as adhesives and sealants manufacturers often customise polymers, which results in new polymer species. Thus, those formulators, which are currently downstream users (DUs) under REACH legislation, may become potential polymer registrants in future if the new polymer would be subject to the obligation of registration. Such customisation is required in order to fulfil technical feasibility and customer requirements as well as regulatory needs.

Polymers in the scope of PRR examples

Check the Polymers in the scope of PRR examples presentation and find practical examples that illustrate why customising polymers may result in a huge number of new polymers to be potentially registered.

The European Adhesive and Sealant Industry Facts & Figures 2020

The global market for adhesives and sealants reached a value of 50 billion euros in 2020, with Europe holding a share of almost 35%. Our specialty chemical sector, which represents about 2% of the total European chemical industry's turnover, contributes more than 17 billion euros to the EU economy and employs more than 45,000 people.
