Subject:
Persistent, Bioaccumulation, and Toxic Chemicals under TSCA 6(h)
As required under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), as amended by the Frank R.
Lautenberg Chemical Safety for the 21st Century Act, EPA issued five final rules on January 6,
2021 to reduce exposures to certain chemicals that are persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic
(PBT).
These chemicals build up in the environment over time and can therefore have potential risks
for exposed populations, including the general population, consumers and commercial users,
and susceptible subpopulations.
The five identified PBT chemicals are:
▪ Decabromodiphenyl ether (DecaBDE)
▪ Phenol, isopropylated phosphate (3:1) (PIP (3:1))
▪ 2,4,6-Tris(tert-butyl)phenol (2,4,6-TTBP)
▪ Hexachlorobutadiene (HCBD)
▪ Pentachlorothiophenol (PCTP)
ESM-Hampshire does not use any of these PBT chemicals in the manufacturing, processing, or
distribution of our products.
If you require more information about the materials used in the products that we supply, please
contact your account manager.
Sincerely yours,
Alexandra Moore-Staub
