Uses at industrial sites
- Registration/ Notification status for the use:
- use registered according to REACH Article 10; total tonnage manufactured/imported >=10tonnes/year per registrant
Contributing activity / technique for the environment
- Name of activity / technique:
- Use in on-shore oil wells with most of the material being absorbed into the rock matrix
Substance is pumped down oil and gas wells offshore, with most material remaining in the rock formations (ie inclusion onto matrix of rock)
Fluids are recycled as much as possible with collection and disposal as chemical waste. - Environmental release category (ERC):
- ERC6b: Use of reactive processing aid at industrial site (no inclusion into or onto article)
Contributing activity / technique for workers
- Name of activity / technique:
- Worker contributing scenario - transfer and use of substance
- Process category (PROC):
- PROC 8b: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at dedicated facilities
- PROC28: Manual maintenance (cleaning and repair) of machinery
- PROC 0: Other: Use in closed system in oil well
- Product category used:
- PC41: Oil and gas exploration or production products
- Sector of end use:
- SU 2a: Mining (without offshore industries)
- Substance supplied to that use in form of:
- in a mixture
- Subsequent service life relevant for this use:
- no
- Related assessment:
- use assessed in an own CSR
