EPA qualification helps Cytec speed eco-friendly products to the marketplace
Cytec Industries Inc., West Paterson, NJ, a global specialty chemicals and materials company, was recently named as the first company to qualify for the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Sustainable Futures program, which includes approval for a shortened regulatory review process for certain new products. As a result, the EPA's Pre-Manufacturing Notice review period for Cytec products assessed as low overall risk will be halved from the minimum of 90 days to only 45 days, thus increasing the speed at which eco-friendly products can reach the marketplace.

“Du Pont has been a leader in color science since we developed color pigments for the automotive industry almost a century ago,” said Marco Torri, Sales Manager, Du Pont Digital Printing Systems, Europe, Middle East & Africa. “We can offer our customers color any way they want it, when they want it, so they can better service their customers' needs. They are environmentally smart technologies, with no processing solvents to handle, store or recycle. In addition, they use significantly less water, ink and energy, versus conventional printing systems.”
