<strong>PFOA</strong> ? No problem at <strong>IL<strong>AG</strong></strong>!<br />

The use of <strong>PFOA</strong> (Per-Fluor-Octanic Acid)<br />

for the manufacturing of coatings is<br />

a well known environmental concern.<br />

Yet, the discussion is mainly restricted to<br />

We have developed the new <strong>IL<strong>AG</strong></strong><br />

PTFE-Coatings in close joint effort with<br />

our suppliers. This has resulted in the<br />

complete removal of <strong>PFOA</strong> in the whole<br />

manufacturing process. In fact, the US<br />

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<br />

experts in the fi eld. To avoid this concern<br />

to become a sensitive public issue,<br />

we at <strong>IL<strong>AG</strong></strong> have reacted rapidly and<br />

r esponsibly.<br />

The new <strong>IL<strong>AG</strong></strong> PTFE-Coatings: Naturally <strong>PFOA</strong>-<strong>free</strong>.<br />

From 01.09.2008 all DURIT Resist,<br />

DURIT Protect Plus and DURIT Select<br />

coating systems will be changed over and<br />

therefore, in all probability, <strong>PFOA</strong> will be<br />

no longer be used. From 01.01.2009 all<br />

other coating systems, DURIT Dynamic,<br />

has called for this target to be achieved<br />

only from 2015 onwards. Nevertheless,<br />

our fi rst concern is customers and environment<br />

care. Therefore we say: no discussions,<br />

no compromises. In other words at<br />

<strong>IL<strong>AG</strong></strong> we are „Naturally <strong>PFOA</strong>-<strong>free</strong>!“<br />

Start planning now: here is our timetable!<br />

And incidentally, for all our PTFE- Coatings<br />

we already use an environmentally<br />

friendly, water based technology that is<br />

practically <strong>free</strong> from any organic solvents<br />

(VOC-<strong>free</strong>) for a cleaner environment.<br />

By changing over our product range<br />

in “right times”, we are ensuring the<br />

ongoing business development of our<br />

partners and together we will meet<br />

our obligations to the society and the<br />

environment.<br />

By using this logo,<br />

we stand by our new<br />

environmentally friendly<br />

coatings.<br />

subject? Don’t delay talking us.<br />
