On January 19, 2021, ECHA added two new SVHCs to the REACH Candidate List[1]. The newly added SVHCs are listed in Table 1. Three references substances were identified by ECHA for the substance group “Dioctyltin dilaurate, …”; these are show as a bulleted list under the substance group name in the table.
Table 1: Two SVHCs added to REACH Candidate List
| Substance name | Description | EC No. | CAS No. | Typical EEE Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dioctyltin dilaurate, stannane, dioctyl-, bis(coco acyloxy) derivs., and any other stannane, dioctyl-, bis(fatty acyloxy) derivs. wherein C12 is the predominant carbon number of the fatty acyloxy moiety · dioctyltin dilaurate; stannane, dioctyl-, bis(coco acyloxy) derivs. · Stannane, dioctyl-, bis(coco acyloxy) derivs. · Dioctyltin dilaurate | - - 293-901-5 222-883-3 | - - 91648-39-4 3648-18-8 | Stabilisers and catalysts in the production of e.g. plastics and rubber. Used for the manufacture of the follow article categories: plastic products, fabrics, textiles, apparel, and leather. Professional application of coatings and inks. | |
| Bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethyl)ether | 205-594-7 | 143-24-8 | Solvent in electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries, solvent in other manufacturing process (example: solder flux). |
The IEC 62474 Validation Team (VT62474) reviewed and concluded that both substances are potential constituents of materials in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
