Product safety

The Product Stewardship Bulletins (PSB) contain background information about the regulatory status of Witcom engineering plastics compounds, and is meant to be a standard response to many regulatory questions in a timely manner. Since regulations tend to change very regularly, the content of this PSB is reviewed several times per year, to ensure our response documents provide the most recent and relevant information.

Please note that compliance with the regulations cited should not be interpreted to guarantee that the product, will, in fact, perform in a particular application. We certify that during manufacturing of our Witcom products we do not use or intentionally add any of the chemicals restricted by the regulations and standards listed (and their subsequent amendments) in amounts that exceed the applicable limits. However, neither the raw materials used in our manufacturing processes nor the final products are analyzed for the potential presence of traces of such substances.

The statements hold for the Witcom product as it leaves our facilities, but do not include any masterbatches, additives, process aids, etc, subsequently added by the converter. Should you have any further questions concerning a Witcom product, or if we can assist in any other way, please do not hesitate to contact us.
