CADMIUMPIGMENTE





Bitte lesen sie hier die Beschränkung für die Anwendung für Kadmiumpigmente gemäß REACh-Verordnung.

Wir beraten sie an dieser Stelle in Bezug auf Ihre Anwendung!

Cadmium Gelb und helles Orange bestehen aus stabilen Verbindungen aus Cadmium und Zinksulfid während das dunklen Orange sowie das Rot auf der Zusammensetzung Cadmiumsulfoselenid basiert. In beiden Fällen kann Bariumsulfat als Stellmittel anwesend sein und alternativ explizit ausgeschlossen werden.

Die ursprüngliche Aufteilung in PR-108 und PO-20 wurde inzwischen zusammengefaßt und läuft bei REACh unter einem Dossier. Alle Pigmente sind REACh registiriert.

Wie bereits dargestellt existiert keine Risiko und Gefahrenkennzeichnung gemäß GHS. Diese Pigmente sind also gefahrlos für Mensch und Umwelt. Nichtsdestotrotz kommen Einschränkungen durch Anwendungsvorschriften zur Geltung wie z.B. Richtlinien zur Elektroschrottverwertung und Abfallverwertung und Spielzeugnorm. Diverse Richtlinien sind in der CE-Richtline zusammengefaßt worden.

Im einzelnen sind die Anwendungsbeschränkungen nachzulesen in der ANNEX XVII wie folgt:

— cross-linked polyethylene (VPE)

— high-impact polystyrene

— polypropylene (PP) [3902 10]

Mixtures and articles produced from plastic material as listed above shall not be placed on the market if the concentration of cadmium (expressed as Cd metal) is equal to or greater than

0,01 % by weight of the plastic material.

By way of derogation, the second subparagraph shall not apply to articles placed on the


 market before 10 December 2011.

The first and second subparagraphs apply without prejudice to Council Directive 94/62/ EC (**) and acts adopted on its basis.

 By 19 November 2012, in accordance with Article 69, the Commission shall ask the European Chemicals Agency to prepare a dossier conforming to the requirements of Annex XV in order to assess whether the use of cadmium and its compounds in plastic material, other than that listed in subparagraph 1, should be restricted.

 2. Shall not be used or placed on the market in paints with codes [3208] [3209] in a concentration (expressed as Cd metal) equal to or greater than 0,01 % by weight.

 For paints with codes [3208] [3209] with a zinc content exceeding 10 % by weight of the paint, the concentration of cadmium (expressed as Cd metal) shall not be equal to or greater than 0,1 % by weight.

 Painted articles shall not be placed on the market if the concentration of cadmium (expressed as Cd metal) is equal to or greater than 0,1 % by weight of the paint on the painted article.

 3. By way of derogation, paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to articles coloured with mixtures containing cadmium for safety reasons.

 4. By way of derogation, paragraph 1, second sub paragraph shall not apply to:

— mixtures produced from PVC waste, hereinafter referred to as ‘recovered PVC’,

— mixtures and articles containing recovered PVC if their concentration of cadmium (expressed as Cd metal) does not exceed 0,1 % by weight of the plastic material in the following rigid PVC applications:

 (a) profiles and rigid sheets for building applications;

(b) doors, windows, shutters, walls, blinds, fences, and roof gutters; (c) decks and terraces;

(d) cable ducts;

(e) pipes for non-drinking water if the recovered PVC is used in the middle layer of a multilayer pipe and is entirely covered with a layer of newly produced PVC in compliance with paragraph 1 above.

 Suppliers shall ensure, before the placing on the market of mixtures and articles containing recovered PVC for the first time, that these are visibly, legibly and indelibly marked as follows: ‘ Contains recovered PVC ’ or with the following pictogram:

  In accordance with Article 69 of this Regulation, the derogation granted in paragraph 4 will be reviewed, in particular with a view to reducing the limit value for cadmium and to reassess

the derogation for the applications listed in points (a) to (e), by 31 December 2017.

5. For the purpose of this entry, ‘cadmium plating’ means any deposit or coating of metallic cadmium on a metallic surface.

 Shall not be used for cadmium plating metallic articles or components of the articles used in the following sectors/applications:

 (a) equipment and machinery for:
