It also considers downstream contributions of fluoropolymers, which are used in a […]
For many industries like medical device, aerospace and automotive, it is imperative that parts and components be cleaned and degreased before they are assembled or shipped. However, while many cleaning solutions currently exist on the market, regulations for cleaning chemicals are becoming more stringent. Because of this, manufacturers are turning to more environmentally sustainable cleaning […]
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are organic compounds that have been synthetically manufactured to be used as refrigerants. They came to popularity in the 1980s when chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were banned from the market because they were harming the Earth’s ozone layer. While HFCs have an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero, they are still potent greenhouse gases and […]
In May 2019, the Journal of the American Medical Association published a study conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration which raised concerns about chemicals, like oxybenzone, avobenzone and octocrylene, in sunscreens. According to the study, these chemicals, which block harmful UV rays, are absorbed by the human body at higher rates than the […]
