Résumé : |
The definition of an SVOC in accordance with the Ecolabel clearly states that the upper SVOC limit is based on the elution of the compound relative to n-docosane on a non-polar column or methyl palmitate on a polar column. Using the boiling point as guidance can be very misleading for some compounds. Although there is a relationship between boiling point, volatility and elution on a GC column, there is not necessarily a direct correlation. If a coatings manufacturer is unfamiliar with VOC/SVOC/non-VOC classification based on elution on a GC column, they should seek guidance from the supplier to obtain confirmation on the status of the compound rather than relying on boiling point guidance. Formulating with Eastman Optifilm enhancer 400 will help to eliminate the need for extensive re-formulation and will offer the formulator a simple, cost effective way to create a low-odour, near-zero emission coating that can meet the requirements of many of the mandatory and voluntary labelling schemes present in Europe at this time. |
