Recently, ECHA launches a public consultation on seven proposals to identify new SVHCs.
The first substance, 1,3-propanesultone (EC No. 214-317-9) is used in electrolyte fluid of lithium ion batteries. The second and third substances, 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(5-chlorobenzotriazol-2-yl)phenol (UV-327) (EC No. 223-383-8) and 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(tert-butyl)-6-(sec-butyl)phenol (UV-350) (EC No. 253-037-1) are UV protection agents in coatings, plastics, rubber and cosmetics. The forth, Dicyclohexyl phthalate, is plastisol and in PVC, rubber and plastic articles, and as a phlegmatiser and dispersing agent for formulations of organic peroxides. The fifth one is Hexamethylene diacrylate (EC No. 235-92-9), which is manufacturing formulations of coatings and inks and as a cross linking agent in polymerisation processes in the production of resins, rubbers, and polymers. The sixth, Nitrobenzene (EC No. 202-716-0), is the production of chemicals and as processing aid. The last substance is Perfluorononan-1-oic acid (EC No. 206-801-3) and its sodium and ammonium salts, primarily used as a processing aid for the fluoropolymer manufacture, most notably for polyvinylidene fluoride, also used as lubricating oil additive, surfactant for fire extinguishers, cleaning agent, textile antifouling finishing agent, polish surfactant, waterproofing agent and in liquid crystal display panels.
