Keywords: EU REACH, SVHC, hexamethyldisiloxane, export compliance, Hongye Silicone

Summary: The EU withdrew hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) from the SVHC candidate list on May 12, simplifying export compliance for silicone manufacturers.

Details:

European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) officially removed HMDS (CAS 107-46-0) from the SVHC (Substances of Very High Concern) candidate list, effective immediately. The substance was initially proposed for PBT (Persistent, Bioaccumulative, Toxic) properties but was delisted after re-evaluation. This update eliminates mandatory SVHC testing and labeling requirements for HMDS-containing products, reducing compliance costs for exporters to the EU. Hongye Silicone confirms all EU-bound products meet updated REACH standards, ensuring smooth market access.
