CRMs for Organophosphate Flame Retardants (OPFRs)

Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) such as TCEP, TCPP, and TDBPP are commonly used in industrial and consumer products. Human exposure to OPFRs has been associated with a range of adverse health effects, including cancer.

New CRMs for UV Stabilizers

Ultraviolet Stabilizers are widely used across industrial and consumer applications. These compounds are recognized as global environmental contaminants due to their persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and widespread distribution.

6PPD & 6PPD-q in the Environment

6PPD is a chemical commonly used when manufacturing tires to enhance durability, which transforms into 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-q) when it breaks down. 6PPD-q is known to be toxic to aquatic life and raises concern for its negative impact on the environment and human health.
