Product safety policy 

Understanding public concerns about the safety of chemicals, our product safety policy reflects a commitment to high operational standards. A rigorous and consistent approach is focused on testing and evaluating the risk of new and modified chemical products - their manufacture, use and disposal. Results, characterizing any risks and specifying proper management, are clearly communicated to customers, third parties and the public, where appropriate and required.

To improve product performance, we regularly review and adopt new technologies. And, to help ensure the safety of people and the environment, we consistently use new, scientific information in manufacturing and marketing our chemical products.

Our approach is to comply with all government laws, rules and regulations, and apply responsible standards where laws and regulations do not exist.

Being able to rely on consistent quality, safe products is the key for customers. Quality is a foundation of our business. Through our Global Product Quality Management System (GPQMS) customers can be assured that we strive to deliver consistent high-quality products every time.
