Technical Information
Cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury andtheir compounds, polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs),and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are notintentionally added to the products listed below:

Viton™ FreeFlow™ 23
Viton™ FreeFlow™ 40
Viton™ FreeFlow™ GB-PL200i

Viton™ FreeFlow™ Z210
Samples representative of the Viton™ FreeFlow™ products
listed above have been analyzed for metals content toensure potential trace contamination levels are below therequired limits. The levels of heavy metals, if present at all,were below the limits of the following directives:
RoHS and WEEE/Directives on the Restriction of theUse of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical andElectronic Equipment (2002/95/EC) and Directive on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (2002/96/EC) as amended by European directive 2005/618/EC.
As enacted by member states, this directive restricts
or prohibits a producer from placing new electronic orelectrical equipment containing cadmium, hexavalentchromium, lead, mercury, PBB, and PBDE in amounts
exceeding the set maximum concentration values on
the market in the EU. The European Council has amended
the RoHS Annex (2005/618/EC) to set maximum
concentration value of 0.1% by weight in homogeneousmaterials for lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB,
and PBDE and 0.01% by weight in homogeneousmaterials for cadmium.
ELV/Directive 2000/53/EC, End-of-Life Vehicles
Directive as amended by European directive
2002/525/EC.
When enacted in member states, this directive will
require that the maximum concentration value up to0.1% by weight and per homogeneous materials for lead,hexavalent chromium, and mercury and up to 0.01%
by weight per homogeneous material for cadmium
shall be tolerated, provided these substances are notintentionally introduced. A homogeneous material is amaterial that cannot be mechanically broken down into
different materials. The term “homogeneous” basicallymeans of uniform composition throughout. “Mechanicallybroken down” means separating by mechanical action,e.g., unscrewing, shredding, cutting, crushing, grinding,or abrasion.
Regarding the presence of PBB and PBDE for the RoHS
requirement, CAS numbers are required to ensure proper
chemical identification. Therefore, the composition of theViton™ FreeFlow™ products listed above were checkedagainst the following CAS numbers (see Table 1).
The results of this assessment indicate that PBBs andPBDEs are not intentionally added during the productionof Viton™ FreeFlow™ products listed above. In addition,to the best of our knowledge, these substances are notpresent in any of our raw materials. However, we do nottest for their presence.
