Product definition

Article. These products are classified as hazardous according to REACH Regulation 1907/2006, or European CLP/GHS Regulation 1272/2008. Suitable gloves must be worn when handling these membranes out of their packaging, to address any concerns related to residual levels of PFOA (less than 25 ppb) and PFOA-related compounds (less than 1000 ppb) related to the material as supplied.

Not applicable ___________________________________________________________________________________ SECTION 3 - Materials of Construction The filters detailed in Section 1 are comprised of the following materials: Material Name CAS Number Percentage Composition Cellulose nitrate and esters of cellulose < 1 Acrylic copolymer membrane Pall proprietary < 1 Non-woven nylon 6,6 support material 32131-17-2 < 1 Hydrophobic ‘RC’ surface treatment Pall proprietary < 1 Cellulose 9004-34-6 2 – 2.6 Polyethylene 9002-88-4 2 – 21.8 Polypropylene 9003-07-0 25.5 – 43.3 These products not known to contain BADGE, NOGE, or BFDGE. Trace additives will be present in the plastic components- for example antioxidants are present for stabilisation purposes. There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier, are classified and contribute to the classification of the article. Please note that in May 2019 the Stockholm Convention moved to add perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and/or PFOA-related compounds to its POPs Annex A with the intention of restricting the use of PFOA and its related compounds to a limited range of applications within the ratifying countries. These products are not known to contain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), its salts and PFOA-related compounds at levels in excess of: PFOA and its salts 25 ppb PFOA related compounds 1000 ppb The above statement is based on a risk assessment approach considering: the supplier’s information on the key constituent in the ‘RC’ surface treatment concerning to PFOA, and Pall testing of the finished membrane for residual PFOA. Pall testing of the key constituent in the ‘RC’ surface treatment for PFOA related compounds was conducted. For further information on suitability for your intended use of these membranes please contact your Pall representative. There are no other SVHC substances known to be present in the finished articles above 0.1%. There are no current ROHS2 Directive (2011/65/EU) and amendment (2015/863) substances of concern (including Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)) known to be present in the materials employed in excess of the limits laid down, based on information from our suppliers and knowledge of substances used within Pall the manufacturing facility. Pall filters do not employ natural rubber latex, or latex derivatives in their construction. These products (see appendix 1) do contain animal materials (i.e. animal parts, tissues, or body fluids). However, to assist our customers in performing a TSE/BSE risk assessment, we are pleased to provide the following information: Pall filters for healthcare and laboratory applications may utilise components which are fabricated from plastic resins containing animal-derived additives at trace levels such as tallow-derived substances. Please be advised that tallow-derived additives are not considered specified BSE risk materials according to the current revision of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21 of part 189.5. Furthermore, the CPMP's Note for guidance on minimising the risk of transmitting animal spongiform encephalopathies via human and veterinary medicinal products (EMA410/01 rev 3) gives specific consideration to tallow derivatives and state they are unlikely to be infectious due to the rigorous processing steps used during their manufacture (an example of which is transesterification, or hydrolysis, at not less than 200°C under pressure for not less than 20 minutes). This product can expose you to PFOA which are known in the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov These products placed on the market in the State of California by Pall are not intended for ‘consumer’ sale, but, are for professional or industrial use. Therefore, the only anticipated exposure to these items would be through ‘occupational exposure’ which does not require mandatory labelling of all articles. In line with the ‘Questions and Answers for business’ (dated August 2017) on the labelling requirements – Q41 - this SDS convey this warning for occupational exposure. ______________________________________________________________________________________
