T
he company OCSiAl is been founded in 2009 and is also
the first SWCNT manufacturer who has completed his EU-
REACH registration for a tonnage band of up to 10T/a and is
planning to receive approval for a tonnage band up to 100T/y
by the end of Q3/2019. At the end of the 2017 we achieved our
signed consent order with the EPA that allows us to import up
to 25T/y.
Because Tuball™ is used and also tested in various applications
on an ongoing basis, also receiving a lot of interests worldwide.
That is why it is obvious that the company OCSiAl is establishing
the necessary regulatory and quality standards worldwide.
The first part of this presentation will aim at providing a short
introduction of our Tuball™ substance and his product line, a
second part of the presentation will be about the morphology
vs Health& Safety status, the third part is an overviewabout the
status and plans of the ongoing registrations compliance. The
fourth and last part of the presentation will focus on the health,
safety and environmental aspects of our Tuball™ substance and
the different applications. As SWCNT manufacturer, OCSiAl is
doing continues investments in improving our understanding
of our different (new) Tuball products themselves and potential
hazards through their (entire) life cycle. We are involved in
generating additional test data and collaborating with industry
associations and networks.
This presentation will describe the steps being taken by the
company’s H&S Lead manager, Van Kerckhove Gunther to
successfully introduce our carbon nanotubes (SWCNT’s)
regulatory status and outline our (future) plans for numerous
of studies and qualifying our Tuball™ substance including the
different kind of compositions
