PPG provides guidance on disposal information for its uncontaminated products only. If <br /> waste streams contain non PPG products, their content will not be fully defined. It <br /> remains the obligation of the generator to properly characterize and dispose of their <br /> wastes in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations. <br /> Coatings options <br /> Depending upon the regulation affecting the coatings operation, the end user may <br /> choose to eliminate or control the use of specific coatings in order to meet the regulation. <br /> If complying with RoHS, substitution for listed products is required. If complying with <br /> OSHA standards or TCLP requirements, at minimum an end user should be aware of <br /> the content of products used, and then make an educated decision as to how to control <br /> exposures. <br /> With the PPG Intermix System, topcoat formulas are provided with matching labels and <br /> SDS information and are segregated by content according to the possibility of added <br /> lead, hexavalent chromium and/or cadmium (and selenium), divided into a-1 through -4 <br /> classification. Intermix color formulas designated as -2 and -4 have pigments which <br /> contain these heavy metals. Intermix color formulas designated as-1 and -3 do not <br /> utilize any of the color bases which contain these pigments. Coatings operations may <br /> choose to take advantage of the -1 and -3 formulation alternatives. Factory pack <br /> formulas may also contain these heavy metals. If a facility chooses not to use products <br /> that contain, the factory pack labels and PPG product SDS will identify hazardous <br /> ingredients. <br /> Products that contain these heavy metals of concern are also found on the "PPG <br /> Products Containing Restricted Metals" list at the PPG Refinish website. The list also <br /> indicates available substitutes which do not contain these heavy metals. If <br /> recommended substitutes are deemed inappropriate, consult with your local PPG rep for <br /> performance alternatives. <br /> Waiver Statement <br /> This "Heavy Metals Rules for Refinish Products" bulletin is intended to provide <br /> INFORMATION for review by PPG's customers.
