Ansell Ensures Compliance with European Regulations on PFAS, Providing Safe and Sustainable Safety Solutions

As a global leader in safety solutions, Ansell reaffirms its commitment to meeting European regulations regarding Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Ansell strives to provide businesses with products that are both effective and environmentally friendly, with its comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with PFAS.

What is PFAS?

PFAS is a family of chemicals and polymers that has gained attention due to its potential impact on human health and the environment. While Europe has already restricted certain PFAS chemicals, ongoing studies continue to assess the potential harm posed by others. These restrictions are currently regulated by REACH (Restriction, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals) and/or POP (Persistent Organic Pollutants) regulations.

Is Ansell compliant with the new regulation?

Ansell is compliant with all relevant European regulations, including restrictions on PFAS chemicals outlined by REACH and POP regulations. As a result, Ansell’s lineup of safety solutions adheres to the restrictions and bans established under these regulations.

Although future regulations may define PFAS broadly, affecting some of its products, Ansell remains determined to continue meeting all regulations.

As an industry leader Ansell is committed to continuous improvement and the development of safer, more sustainable safety solutions. Its expertise gives us a unique insight to address concerns of all stakeholders to protect people and planet.
