The majority of the population is usually aware of the subject of environmental friendliness and the impending shortage of fossil resources. Each industry sector must therefore gradually alter its methods of production and its sources of raw materials.

As a result, HR Solution aspires to be one of the solution providers for our community and the environment. To that end, we are able to supply customers with our Biobased TPEs material, which is made in part from bio-based sources.
Phoenix Biomass TPEs, which can contain more than 50% bio-based material, will be part of our Phoenix 19 series and have already received certification in accordance with ASTM D6866 standards. Additionally, our biomass TPEs often have physical characteristics that are similar to those of our fossil foundation TPE material.

If you would like more information on Phoenix Biomass TPEs, please contact us via mail. Alternatively, we will display this product information at the K 2022 trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany, where we may hold a conversation in our booth no. 72B26.

Diisocyanatos added to the substances restricted under REACH

Foams, sealants, and coatings are only a few of the industries and uses for diisocyanates, which are also utilized as chemical building blocks in many other areas. Worker occupational asthma has been highlighted as a significant occupational health issue in the European Union (EU) due to respiratory sensitization brought on by cutaneous and inhalation exposure to diisocyanates. Diisocyanates should not be used in industrial or professional settings or sold on their own, as a component of other chemicals, or in mixes, according to a proposal by the European Chemicals Agency.

Diisocyanates are now subject to further restrictions in Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 of REACH, the EU notified on August 4, 2020. Diisocyanates may not be marketed as a standalone substance, an ingredient in other substances, or a component of mixtures for industrial and professional use(s) after 24 February 2022. To the best of our knowledge and experience, PHOENIX Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are free of Diisocyanates.

COMMISSION DIRECTIVE (EU) 2019/1929 adopting specific limit values for chemicals used in certain toys, as regards formaldehyde

Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council defines specific requirements for chemical substances that are designated as carcinogenic, mutagenic, or hazardous for reproduction. These requirements are set forth in Directive 2009/48/EC. Specific limit values for chemicals used in toys intended for use by children under 36 months of age or in other toys meant to be put in the mouth are set forth in Appendix C of Annex II to the Directive.

A monomer utilized in the production of polymeric polymers is formaldehyde. Toys frequently contain materials made of polymers. Therefore, when mouthing toys made of polymeric materials, kids could consume formaldehyde. The World Health Organization (WHO) established the tolerated daily intake (TDI) for formaldehyde, and the European Food Safety Authority’s Scientific Panel on Food Additives, Flavourings, Processing Aids, and Materials in Contact with Food (AFC) has since confirmed it(5). The daily TDI is 0.15 mg/kg body weight. A child weighing 10 kg should not consume more than 0.15 mg of formaldehyde per day, with formaldehyde from toys accounting for 10% of the total daily intake (TDI). The subgroup Chemicals recommended a formaldehyde migration limit of 1.5 mg/l in polymeric materials when the migration of formaldehyde is determined using the test method in standards EN 71-10:2005 and EN 71-11:2005, assuming a daily ingestion of 100 ml of mouthing saliva.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are produced by Phon Tech in compliance with EU requirements for toys and infant products, including teethers, toy vehicle wheels, baby spoons, and bathtubs, among others. Our TPEs are safe for babies and contain no formaldehyde.

The TPEs may connect with a variety of materials, including PP, PE, and PS, and are flexible and simple to produce.
