Search for Successfully Implemented Alternatives

You can use the free text search function to find information in the case story database. Most suitable are: substance name and other substance identifier (EC- and CAS-number). You can refine your search after first entry for sector-, function- and process-categories. The case studies are meant to serve as source of inspiration and ideas for substitution. The alternatives are constantly being developed further. We therefore recommend that you to check in each individual case whether an alternative is suitable for your applications and purposes. If you are aware of any other relevant information that is not mentioned in the current case story, please contact SUBSPORTplus.

Chemical treatment of rubber, wood, leather or metal which protects, preserves and renews the surface of the material. An alternative to carbon black.

This document describes a process for protecting, preserving and renewing surfaces, especially rubber and other natural and synthetic polymers including wood, leather, painted surfaces and metal. The material to be treated is soaked with an aqueous solution of substituted or unsubstituted dimethylpolysiloxane. This is done in several stages with other solutions such as diethylene glycol and/or glycerine. This treatment reduces the impact of deleterious effects such as ozone, ultraviolet radiation and environmental causes to the appearance of especially rubber parts used for example in automobiles.

Eine neue wasserabweisende Oberflächenbehandlung zur Verwendung auf Textilien und anderen faserbasierten Materialien, die keine Fluorcarbone oder Isocyanate enthält.

Fluorcarbon- und isocyanathaltige Mischungen sind seit vielen Jahren zur wasserabweisenden Oberflächenbehandlung von Textilien und anderen faserbasierten Materialien verwendet worden. Heute weiß man, dass sich viele Fluorcarbone (z.B. PFOA) extrem langsam in der Natur abbauen und Hormonstörungen bei vielen Wassertieren auslösen, wohingegen viele Isocyanate giftig für Menschen sind. OC-aquasil™ stellt eine alternative Oberflächenbehandlung für Anwendungen vor, die einen hohen Grad an Abweisung von Wasser oder wasserbasiertem Schmutz verlangen, allerdings ohne Fluorcarbone und Isocyanate.

A new water repellent surface treatment which contain no fluorocarbons or isocyanates, to be used on textiles and other fibre-based materials.

Fluorocarbon and isocyanate containing mixtures have been used for many years as water repellent surface treatments of textiles and of other fibre-based materials. Today it is clear that many fluorocarbons (e.g. PFOA) degrade extremely slowly in nature and cause hormone disruption among many aquatic animals, whereas many isocyanates are toxics to humans. OC-aquasil™ presents an alternative surface treatment for applications where a high degree of repellence towards water and water-based soil is required, but without fluorocarbons or isocyanates.

Eine Alternative zu Phthalaten: Neuartiger Weichmacher für Kunststoffe hergestellt aus Rizinusöl und Essigsäure

Danisco hat erfolgreich einen biobasierten Kunststoffweichmacher auf der Basis von Rizinusöl und Essigsäure entwickelt. Studien zufolge hat das Produkt keine nachteiligen Auswirkungen auf die menschliche Gesundheit oder die Umwelt und hat Verwendung in der Produktion von Lebensmittelverpackungen, medizinischem Equipment und Kinderspielzeug gefunden. Neuartige Anwendungen werden getestet, eine davonist Vinylfußboden.
