(China Plastic&Rubber Journal) -- Eastman Chemical Company announced that it has received full registration for its Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer in accordance with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation.
This registration entitles Eastman to import, manufacture or use Eastman 168 in quantities exceeding 1,000 tons per year - the highest volume registration band under REACH.
A versatile plasticizer for PVC, Eastman 168 non-phthalate plasticizer was the first of many non-phthalate plasticizers Eastman has submitted for REACH registration. Having recently acquired Genovique Specialties Corporation and its family of benzoate plasticizer products, Eastman is completing REACH registration for its full portfolio of non-phthalate plasticizers.
