EC Regulation No 1907/2006 - REACH<br />
• CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products are chemically surface <strong>treated</strong><br />
<strong>silica</strong>. The European Chemicals Agency has provided guidance on the status of chemically surface <strong>treated</strong><br />
substances in their "Frequently Asked Questions about REACH ". As a result of this guidance (FAQ 6.3.8. on<br />
http://echa.europa.eu/reach/faq_en.asp), to (pre)-register the chemically surface <strong>treated</strong> products, it is<br />
necessary to (pre)-register the base particles (i.e., synthetic amorphous <strong>silica</strong>) and the surface treatment<br />
substances.<br />
• We confirm that Cabot Corporation has
o<br />
o<br />
registered un<strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> under REACH, meeting the December 1, 2010 deadline (REACH<br />
Registration Number: 01-2119379499-16) and<br />
pre-registered the surface treatment substance<br />
• The different obligations within the EU REACH legislation are described in a specific Cabot REACH statement<br />
separate from the present one. This statement is regularly updated to address the list of Substances of Very<br />
High Concern (SVHC) which is frequently modified by the EU Authorities. The current version of Cabot’s<br />
REACH statement is available from our website in the “Downloads” section at www.<strong><strong>cab</strong>ot</strong>-corp.com. Please<br />
refer to this <strong>information</strong><br />
NOTE: Non-EU producers that import substances into the EU may need to use the service of our Only<br />
Representative to be covered under REACH. For further <strong>information</strong>, please contact your Cabot sales<br />
representative.<br />
Inorganic and Organic Impurities<br />
CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products are not routinely analyzed for the<br />
presence of the following organic and inorganic impurities. To the best of our knowledge, Cabot Corporation<br />
believes these chemicals are not present in the raw materials used in the manufacture of our CAB-O-SIL®<br />
polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products nor are these substances used in our<br />
production and handling processes. Therefore, they are not expected to be present in CAB-O-SIL® polydimethyl<br />
siloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> product(s) above trace concentrations (i.e., low ppm or less).<br />
Organic Impurities<br />
• Acrylamide<br />
• Aliphatic and aromatic solvents<br />
• Azo compounds, aromatic amines and dyes<br />
• Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE); Bis (hydroxyphenyl) methane bis (2,3-epoxypropyl) ethers (BFDGE);<br />
and novolac glycidyl ethers (NOGE)<br />
• Endocrine disrupters, such as phthalates and bisphenol-A<br />
• Furans<br />
• Formaldehyde<br />
• Glycol ethers<br />
• Aliphatic chlorinated hydrocarbons, dioxins, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls<br />
(PCBs), polychlorinated terphenyls (PCT), and fluorinated hydrocarbons<br />
• Brominated hydrocarbons and flame retardants, such as polybrominated biphyenyls (PBB), polybrominated<br />
diphenyl ethers (PBDE), pentaromodiphenyl ether (pentaBDE), and octabromodiphenyl ether (octaBDE)<br />
• Ozone depleting substances (ODS), such as CFCs and HCFCs<br />
• Hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), as defined by United States regulations and EU directives<br />
• Latex<br />
• Organotin derivatives<br />
• Phenols<br />
• Perfluorooctane sulfonates (PFOS ) and Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and its salts as regulated by EU<br />
Directive 2006/122/EC<br />
• Pesticides, insecticides, fungicides (including Dimethyl Fumarate – DMF as regulated by EU Directive<br />
2009/251/EC), rodenticides, herbicides and biocides<br />
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as defined by United States regulations and EU directives<br />
Inorganic Impurities<br />
• Asbestos
• Heavy metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium – are not intentionally added to CAB-O-<br />
SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products during their manufacture or<br />
handling processes. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the sum of the incidental concentration<br />
levels of lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium present in a CAB-O-SIL® polydimethyl<br />
siloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> product does not exceed 100 parts per million by weight.<br />
RoHS EU Directive 2002/95/EC as amended and modified by Commission Regulation 2005/618/EC<br />
Cabot Corporation does not routinely test its CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong><br />
<strong>silica</strong> products for the presence of RoHS substances. However, to the best of our knowledge, Cd, Cr VI, Hg, Pb,<br />
polybrominated biphenyls or polybrominated diphenylethers derivatives (including de<strong>cab</strong>romodiphenyl ether) are not<br />
used during the production of Cabot PDMS-<strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products.<br />
Presence of GMO<br />
To the best of our knowledge, Cabot Corporation’s CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong><br />
<strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products do not contain any genetically modified organism (GMO) products or materials, nor do they<br />
come into contact with any GMO product or material during their manufacture and handling.<br />
Products of Animal Origin<br />
To the best of our knowledge, Cabot Corporation’s CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong><br />
<strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products do not contain any product of animal origin, nor do they contain any animal product associated<br />
with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) or Creuzfeldt-Jakobs Disease (CJD). The regulated chemicals that<br />
typically are associated with the development of BSE or CJD are not involved in the production and handling<br />
processes of our CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products.<br />

Cosmetics Applications<br />
These products have the following INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) names assigned by<br />
The Personal Care Products Council (formerly called Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association - CTFA) and<br />
can be included in cosmetic preparations for their designated uses with no restrictions:<br />
‘SILICA DIMETHICONE SILYLATE’ - CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> for<br />
use as antifoaming agents, emollients and viscosity controlling agents.<br />
Cabot CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products have not been tested for<br />
cosmetic purposes. CAB-O-SIL® polydimethylsiloxane polymer (PDMS) <strong>treated</strong> <strong>fumed</strong> <strong>silica</strong> products have been<br />
tested in animals for skin sensitization/irritation effects and have been designated as non-sensitizing and nonirritating.<br />
See section 11 of the product’s material safety data sheet (MSDS) for additional toxicology <strong>information</strong>.
Cabot has and will perform animal testing when required by law and/or when it is necessary to protect the health of<br />
our employees and customers.<br />
