ECHA has indicated their intention to submit a proposal restricting Medium-chain chlorinated paraffins (MCCP). MCCP were added to the REACH Candidate List this past July and are used as a flame retardant and \/or plasticizer in some EEE components.\u00a0 The IEC 62474 DSL lists the typical EEE applications \/ uses as: \u201cFlame retardant and \/ or plasticizer in PVC and rubber, paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, textiles and fabric\u201d<\/p>\n

ECHA intends to submit the restriction proposal by July 26, 2022 and has suggested the scope of restriction as \u201cRestricting the manufacture, use or placing on the market of MCCP\u201d.<\/p>\n

MCCP restriction in EEE is also expected in the next update to the RoHS Directive (RoHS 3) and the UK has submitted a proposal for listing MCCP in the Annexes to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).<\/p>\n

In technical terms, MCCP is a substance group of UVCB substances consisting of more than or equal to 80% linear chloroalkanes with carbon chain lengths within the range from C14 to C17. ECHA has provide five member substances in the group (see Table 1).<\/p>\n
