H E A LT H A N D S A F E T Y I N F O R M AT I O N

KEMIRA and UV-TITAN titanium dioxide products

are stable under normal conditions and inert to most

chemical reagents. Titanium dioxide is not classified as

hazardous to human health or to the environment, or as

hazardous substance for transportation.

EINECS

The KEMIRA and UV-TITAN products are mixtures of

different components. According to EINECS1 regula-

tions, mixtures cannot be registered individually. But

all the components of the KEMIRA and UV-TITAN

products are listed in EINECS or ELINCS2, so the regu-

lations are complied. EINECS number for titanium dio-

xide is 2366755. CAS3 registry number for titanium

dioxide is 13463-67-7. Titanium dioxide can also be

identified as C.I.4 number 77891 and C.I. name Pigment

White 6.

TSCA

TSCA5 regulates the sale of chemical substances in the

USA. The act requires reportable chemical substances

to be on the TSCA Chemical Inventory before being

sold in commerce. All the components of the KEMIRA

and UV-TITAN products are included in the TSCA

Chemical Inventory.

Health hazards in handling

In handling of the KEMIRA and UV-TITAN products,

dusting of the material is possible. Inhalation of dust for

a short duration is not likely to cause adverse effects

directly after exposure. A prolonged excessive exposure

of dust may have a harmful effect on the function of

lungs. If this long-term exposure above the particular

occupational exposure limit can not be avoided, suitable

dust respirators should be used. With the skin contact,

the KEMIRA and UV-TITAN products do not irritate,

but they may have a drying effect on skin.

Disposal of the KEMIRA and UV-TITAN TiO2products must be done in accordance with applicable

governmental regulations.

Material safety data sheets of our products are avail-

able on request.

Regulations concerning the useof titanium dioxide pigments

For the use of titanium dioxide pigments for food con-

tact (including food packaging, printing inks, coatings

etc.) applications, purity requirements given by laws

and regulations must be complied.

The European directive (90/128/EEC with amend-

ments) relating to plastics materials and articles inten-

ded to come into contact with foodstuffs includes a list

of monomers and starting substances, which may be

used in the manufacture of plastic materials and articles.

Titanium dioxide is mentioned without restrictions in

the additive list.

The resolution AP (89) 1 on the use of colourants in

plastic materials coming into contact with food is given

by the Council of Europe. In this resolu-

tion there is given the exact allowed

content of impurities soluble in 0.1 M

hydrochlorid acid, determined as a

percentage in relation to the colourant.

BgVV6, formerly known as BGA,

regulates the use of colourants in food

contact applications in Germany. BgVV

requirements are widely used in Europe

as reference.

In the USA regulations concerning

the use of colourants in food contact

14


applications are enforced by FDA7. These regulations

are published in the Code of Federal Regulations

(CFR), title 21. For example, titanium dioxide is men-

tioned in Part 178.3297, colorants for polymers.

The European standard EN 71 concerns safety of

toys, and part 3 of the standard gives specification

for migration of certain elements. KEMIRA and

UV-TITAN titanium dioxide products can be used in

toys and toy materials because of their typical low

contents of the heavy metals concerned.

Separate statements for the use of the KEMIRA and

UV-TITAN titanium dioxide products in toys and food

contact and other specific applications are available on

request.

CONEG and European directive onpackaging and packaging waste

In USA, a number of states have

adopted packaging laws patterned after

model law developed by CONEG.

According to the model law, the

combined total of the incidental

amounts of cadmium, hexavalent

chromium, lead, and mercury in

packaging and packaging components

should not exceed 100 mg/kg.

In Europe, the same requirement

is stipulated by the EC Packaging

and Packaging Waste Directive.

KEMIRA and UV-TITAN titanium

dioxide products are in compliance

with the 100 mg/kg requirement.
