Zero-D4 Low-Volatility Silicone Formulas Become Mandatory St
Keywords: zero D4 silicone, low volatile silicone, EU REACH 2024/1328, silicone export compliance, cyclic siloxane restriction
Key Sentence: EU D4/D5/D6 limit regulation fully takes effect, zero cyclic siloxane silicone becomes the basic threshold for European market access.
The EU REACH Regulation (EU) 2024/1328 fully implemented on June 6, 2026 restricts the total content of D4, D5 and D6 cyclic siloxanes in all silicone products below 0.1%. Silicone exporters without upgraded low-volatility formulas face customs detention and order return risks. Many Chinese silicone manufacturers have completed formula replacement, launching zero-D4 electronic potting silicone, mold silicone and food-grade silicone series. These reformulated products pass EU third-party testing and obtain complete SDS compliance documents. European buyers gradually shift procurement orders to compliant Chinese silicone suppliers, eliminating trade barriers brought by environmental regulations.
