Contributing activity / technique for the environmentopen allclose all
Name of activity / technique:
Lubricants, greases, release products (PC 24) (ATIEL-ATC Group B)
Environmental release category (ERC):
ERC4: Use of non-reactive processing aid at industrial site (no inclusion into or onto article)
Name of activity / technique:
The substance is used as functional fluid and does not get in contact with products; substance is contained during the use.
Environmental release category (ERC):
ERC7: Use of functional fluid at industrial site
Contributing activity / technique for workersopen allclose all
Name of activity / technique:
Use of the substances in high integrity contained systemwhere little potential exists for exposures, e.g. any sampling via closed loop systems
Process category (PROC):
PROC 1: Chemical production or refinery in closed process without likelihood of exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions
Name of activity / technique:
Continuous process but where the design philosophy is not spe-cifically aimed at minimizing emissions
It is not high integrity and occasional expose will arise e.g. through maintenance, sampling and equipment breakages
Process category (PROC):
PROC 2: Chemical production or refinery in closed continuous process with occasional controlled exposure or processes with equivalent containment conditions
Name of activity / technique:
Sampling, loading, filling, transfer, dumping, bagging in dedicated facilities. Exposure related to dust, vapour, aerosols or spillage, and cleaning of equipment to be expected.
Process category (PROC):
PROC 8b: Transfer of substance or mixture (charging and discharging) at dedicated facilities
Name of activity / technique:
Filling lines specifically designed to both capture vapour and aerosol emissions and minimise spillage
Process category (PROC):
PROC 9: Transfer of substance or mixture into small containers (dedicated filling line, including weighing)
Product category used:
PC 16: Heat transfer fluids
PC 17: Hydraulic fluids
PC 24: Lubricants, greases, release products
