<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 />
