Customers will be notified immediately if any SVHC use is determined.
SCIP database
SCIP database information is product specific and will be supplied at the product family level as requested. None of our materials were analyzed for content, relying on the material supplier for Certifications and/or notifications and/or available MSDS.
California Proposition 65 Compliance
Prop 65 is a California voter initiative designed to protect citizens and sources of drinking water from harmful chemicals.
The US State is required to maintain and publish a list of chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The list is administered by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) https://oehha.ca.gov/ and is updated at least once a year.
The list contains a wide range of naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals that are known to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. These chemicals include additives or ingredients in pesticides, common household products, food, drugs, dyes, or solvents. Listed chemicals may also be used in manufacturing and construction, or they may be by-products of chemical processes, such as motor vehicle exhaust.
First published in 1986, the list now includes approximately 900 chemicals and the current list is published on the OEHHA website https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list
Everflon Fluoropolymers Co.,Ltd certify that their entire range of Fluoropolymers do not contain any of the latest OEHHA listed substances or are within the safe harbor level, if one has been adopted.
FDA Compliance (21 CFR 177.1550 Perfluorocarbon Resins)
Most Everflon™ PTFE,PFA and FEP fluoropolymer resins may be used as articles or components of articles intended to contact food in compliance with this regulation. for repeated-use food contact articles such as tubing, hoses, components of valves, etc., as well as for coatings for articles intended for repeated food contact use in compliance with this regulation. A partial list of resins that meet the requirements of this regulation is given in Table 1.
Some fluoropolymer resins are irradiated to facilitate grinding into fine powders for applications needing a very small particle size. Paragraph (c) specifies the allowable dose of radiation and maximum particle size for PTFE resins so processed and restricts their use to components of articles intended for repeated use in contact with
food.
