Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

The ESD identifies three key stages in the production of polymers:
1. Handling of raw materials [C-4000 pellets]
2. Compounding – the blending into the polymer of additives
3. Conversion – the forming of the polymer into finished articles All of these stages take place in industrial settings only.
The first two stages are assumed to always take place together.
The Emission Scenario Document on plastics additives (OECD, 2004) states that, for the raw materials handling and compounding stages, depending upon the volatility, initial losses may be to atmosphere, but ultimately all particulates will be removed or settle and vapours will condense to some extent, resulting in losses to both solid waste and waste water (via aqueous washing). In the case of materials handling, emissions to waste water may also occur in the event of paper sacks being recycled at a different location. It should be noted that cleaning of handling and compounding areas of plastics processing plants is not carried out using water. As a result, the potential for emission to wastewater during these stages is negated. It was assumed therefore that the emission losses to water as a function of handling were negligible.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
