REACH at Synthomer

Synthomer is committed to achieving full compliance with the REACH requirements in close cooperation with our suppliers and customers. A Steering Committee managed the initial pre-registration stage, adhering to an internal time-line to ensure business continuity throughout the pre-registration phase. All necessary steps have been taken to ensure that REACH has become an integral part of our ongoing business throughout the three transitional phase-in registration deadlines and beyond. Our ongoing activities for REACH are in line with the CEFIC guidelines.

REACH at Synthomer

The vast majority of our products fall within the Polymer Exemption and, aside from ensuring that the individual substances of the mixture or preparation are registered in their own right for the required use, most of our products therefore require little further assessment to comply with the current REACH legislation.

We have however reviewed our full product portfolio to identify products that do not meet the Polymer Exemption criteria so that appropriate action can be taken for those materials. We believe that REACH provides Synthomer with the opportunity to add to our excellent record of regulatory compliance and Responsible Care and that working closely with our suppliers and customers both up and down the supply chain is key to ensuring compliance with REACH.
