REACH for Oxazolidines

Industrial Copolymers Limited is the global leader in oxazolidine chemistry, manufacturing a diverse range of products marketed under the Incozol umbrella.

The Incozol series consists of a range of mono and bis-oxazolidines which hydrolyse on exposure to moisture, yielding reactive amine and hydroxyl functionalities.

Incozol moisture scavengers are low toxicity and fast reacting, thereby preventing problems associated with moisture contamination of polyurethanes.

The low viscosity of Incozol reactive diluents enables the production of high solids and low VOC formulations.

Incozol bis-oxazolidine latent curing agents are designed to enable the production of high build, high solids coatings without carbon dioxide gassing.

All Incozol products are able to provide protection from CO2 gassing in high humidity conditions.

Like many companies today, Industrial Copolymers must pre-register products under the REACH regulations and the Incozol series is no exception.

The current status is as follows:

  • Incozol LV and 2 are not affected since they have been previously tested under ELINCS.
  • Incozol 3 has been pre-registered, the assigned number is: 05-2114097733-39-000, the tonnage band is 100-1000 Mt per annum.
  • Incozol 4 (HP/NC/CF) has been pre-registered, the assigned number is 05-2114097685-32-0000, the tonnage band is 100-1000Mt per annum.
