Priority Issues

Defending the use of MP, nPB ad Chlorinated Solvents… These ingredients are currently facing scrutiny on possible restrictions that could significantly impact formulators by requiring less efficacious reformulations and potentially pose fire hazards. The Industrial and Automotive Products Division is supporting the science-based advocacy efforts of HCPA’s Scientific Affairs Committee on this issue.

Defining Safety Solvents Alternatives… In cooperation with the HCPA Scientific Affairs Committee is working on a science-based advocacy effort to: define safety solvent, compile information on desirable physical/chemical properties and existing alternatives and develop an action plan to identify new alternatives.
