Services by business type: Material and Chemical Suppliers

Suppliers of materials, powders, chemicals, are increasingly required to supply products compliant with European RoHS rules, and many OEMs now require a letter of compliance to this effect from any vendor wanting to remain a supplier.  If any of your processes or materials either contain chromates or produce Cr⁶⁺ fumes, the OSHA rules will apply, while if any Cr⁶⁺ (or the other restricted materials) remain on the products, the RoHS rules apply as well.  If the European REACH standards come into force the problem will become far more serious and affect almost any material you could possibly make.  With the large number of materials that are raising concern in Europe and elsewhere, one must also consider whether the alternative chosen will be banned tomorrow.

However, this is also an opportunity, not just to meet the rules, but wherever possible to produce a cleaner product that the market will adopt in place of the older products or short-term solutions that may not work as well.

With our broad knowledge of materials and coatings we can provide assistance in assessing your exposure and if necessary developing and validating alternatives:

• Review and audit your materials and processes to ensure compliance with both RoHS and the OSHA standards

• Identify the best and most cost-effective alternative processes and materials to meet US and European rules

• Assist with qualifying new technologies bringing them rapidly into production

• Assist with developing specifications for alternative materials and processes
