VN/ViệtnamRecently, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) launched the public consultation on the proposal to restrict undecafluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), its salts and related substances. All interested parties can comment on the proposal using the ECHA website until the end of the consultation period by September 25, 2020. The European Commission will decide whether to include this proposed restriction in REACH Annex XVII.
Here is the summary of the proposal:
PFHxA：
PFHxA, its salts and related substances are used in a variety of sectors in large quantities, such as fire-fighting foams, textiles, food contact materials, cosmetics, semiconductors, intermediate uses, etc, due to their unique properties (including providing oil, dirt and water repellency and film forming). But PFHxA, its salts and related substances are very persistent in the environment and have the potential to bioaccumulate in humans and other mammals, may cause long-term adverse effects in human health and environment.
