All our PTFE products, comply with the two European Union directives: REACH and RoHS
REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals)
REACH applies to all chemical substances; not only those used in industrial processes, but also in our day-to-day lives, for example in cleaning products, paints as well as in articles, such as clothes, furniture, and electrical appliances. Therefore, the regulation has an impact on most companies across the EU.
The RoHS (‘Restriction of Hazardous Substances’) bans a range of substances that are present in electrical equipment, e.g., lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd), hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP).
PFAS Compliance Certification
We hereby certify that our products comply with existing and proposed restrictions concerning the PFAS group of substances. The following substances are not intentionally used during polymerization, at any stage of production, or present in the final product:
- PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid)
- PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonate)
- C9-C14 PFCAs (Perfluorinated Carboxylic Acids)
- PFHxA (Perfluorohexanoic Acid)
- PFHxS (Perfluorohexane Sulfonate)
Our production processes and final products strictly adhere to the restriction limits outlined in the respective regulations, ensuring compliance and safety.
For more detailed information, please refer to our official declaration.
Statement of compliance
Responsible management at Dana-Seals A/S
Compliance to social and environmental issues
In an ever-evolving high-tech world, many products are discarded and end up in landfills. Dana-Seals wants to do our part to protect human health and the environment from the risks posed by chemicals. We strive to use the most eco-friendly suppliers and sustainable products and procedures available.
Responsible management at Dana-Seals A/S
Compliance to social and environmental issues
Today, responsible management entails achieving tangible results while continually initiating processes that can benefit our planet. For Dana-Seals, this presents a complex challenge as PTFE, the core material of our products, not only serves as the market’s most durable and effective material for creating tight sealing solutions but also carries an environmental footprint. Until a new material with similar properties but a reduced environmental impact becomes available, we will continuously implement measures that support our responsible management strategy.
Our mission is to lead in ensuring the proper handling of PTFE, advocating for environmental responsibility, and driving change within our industry. Our dedication extends beyond the present, as we actively seek innovative solutions to shape a future that is more environmentally responsible and sustainable for generations to come.
