Product Formulation Active Ingredient(s): % byWt.: 

Zinc borate ............................................................................. 99.8% 

BACKGROUND: 

Lord's Additives LLC has submitted updated product chemistry information for the 

manufacturing-use product, Lord's ZB-SHIELD, for the purpose of adding a new alternative 

formulation. The new alternative formulation is identical to the basic formulation but will be 

produced by a different producer. This product is for use as a fungicide and biostat, and is to be 

applied as an additive in the manufacture of wood or wood-plastic composites, coatings, and 

plastic products. The data package included a Confidential Statement of Formula (CSF) for the 

new alternative formulation (dated August 21, 2009). The product is produced by an integrated 

formulation system (i.e., the product contains an active ingredient that is not an EPA-registered 

product).

• EPA needs to confirm whether the preliminary results provided in response to OPPTS 

830.1700 (Preliminary Analysis) requirements are acceptable. Results from the analysis 

of three batches of the new alternative formulation (rather than five batches) were 

provided. If the preliminary results are not acceptable, then: 

To satisfy OPPTS 830.1700 (Preliminary Analysis) requirements, results from the 

analysis of two additional batches of the new alternative formulation from a GLPcompliant study must be provided. 

• An outline of procedures for enforcement of the product was provided. To satisfy 

OPPTS 830.1800 (Analytical Method) requirements, this outline must be re-vvritten, 

formatted, and presented as a stand-alone methodology, so that the procedures can be 

followed by any analyst. The methodology might include sections such as Summary, 

Scope, Equipment (i.e., Apparatus, Reagents), Analytical Procedure, and Calculations. 

• To satisfy OPPTS 830.6317 (Storage Stability) and OPPTS 830.6320 (ColTosion 

Characteristics) requirements, results for a minimum of 1 year from a GLP-compliant 

storage stability and corrosion characteristics study must be provided. Testing of the 

product is cUlTently underway. [It appears that the study underway might be a 3-month 

study.] The concentration of the active ingredient in the product must be determined at 

the beginning of the test period and every 3 months thereafter for a period of 1 year. 

Storage and disposal information on the product label must be revised ifproduct 

composition (or packaging) deteriorates over time. [Note to EPA Reviewer: Please 

confirm this recommendation. Is a 12-month study required for a new alternative 

formulation?] 

• The following revisions to the CSF for the new alternative formulation must be made: 

Under Item #10 for the active ingredient, change "Lord's ZB-SHIELD" to read 

"Zinc borate." Lord's ZB-SHIELD is the name of the product. 

Under Item #10 for the active ingredient, identify the CAS registry number for 

zinc borate as "12447-61-9 or 138265-88-0." 

Under Item #12 for the active ingredient, delete the EPA registration number. 

• The following revisions to the product label must be made: 

Add the heading "Physical or Chemical Hazards" to the product label 

immediately below the "Environmental Hazards" section of the product label. 

Under the new "Physical or Chemical Hazards" section of the product label, place 

a statement regarding the incompatibility of the product with acids and alkalis as 

evidenced by information contained on the MSDS. [Note to EPA Reviewer: 

Please confirm this recommendation.] 

Page 3 of9

• The following revisions to the product label are recommended: 

Under the "Precautionary Statements" section of the product label, change "after 

handling" to read "after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using 

tobacco, or using the toilet." 

Under the "Environmental Hazards" section of the product label, change "NPDES 

permit" to read "National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) 

permit." 

Under the "Pesticide Storage" section of the product label, add instructions that 

specify what to do if the product leaks or spills from the product container.

I BACKGROUND 

This amendment, for the subject fungicide, biostat and flame retardant, was 

submitted by the registrant, Lord's Additives, LLC. 

The registrant, in this amendment, has submitted updated product chemistry data to 

support the use of an unregistered source of active ingredient under Lord's ZB-SHIELD 

registration. 

The proposed new alternative formulation is identical to the basic formulation but 

will be manufactured by a different producer. This product is for use as a fungicide and 

biostat, and is to be applied as an additive in the manufacture of wood or wood-plastic 

composites, coatings, and plastic products. The data package included a Confidential 

Statement of Formula (CSF) for the new alternate fonnulation. The product is produced 

by an integrated fonnulation system (i.e., the product contains an active ingredient that is 

not an EPAHregistered product). 

The following documents were submitted and examined in the chemistry review of 

this submission: registrant's cover letter and transmittal document dated August 21, 2009, 

pesticide application covering this amendment dated August 21, 2009, proposed new 

Alternate Fonnulation dated August 21, 2009, product label and Technical Data Sheet both 

EPA pin hole dated 08/26109, Data Matrices (Agency and Public copies) with Data 

Attachment dated 08/2112009 and MSDS covering boric acid and zinc oxide EPA pin hole 

dated 08/26109. Also provided was product chemistry data covering OPPTS Test Guideline 

Series 830 Group A studies under MRID #478398-01 dated August 21,2009 and Group B 

physical/chemical studies under MRlD #478398-02 dated August 17, 2009. 

A preliminary chemistry review of this amendment was made by CSC Systems & 

Solutions LLC (CSS) and all relevant comments from the October 27,2009 CSC review 

were incorporated into this Product Chemistry Review. 

II FINDINGS 

1. The requirements of PR Notice 91-2 were satisfied. The nominal concentration of 

the active ingredient, zinc borate, as shown in the proposed new Alternate Fonnulation, 

dated August 21, 2009, agreed with the percentage declared on the product label. 

2. Standard certified limits were utilized for the active ingredient, zinc borate. 

The single impurity present was assigned an upper certified limit and lower certified limit. 

Certified limits are accepted. 

3. The active and inert ingredients utilized in the proposed new Alternate 

Fonnulation, dated August 21, 2009, are in the Agency's database and cleared for use in 

this and other pesticide fonnulations 

16
4. The following revisions to the CSf for the new alternative formulation must be 

made: 

Under Item #10 for the active ingredient, change "Lord's ZB-SHIELD" to 

read "Zinc borate." Lord's ZB-SHIELD is the name of the product. 

Under Item # I 0 for the active ingredient, identify the CAS registry number 

for zinc borate as "12447-61-9. 

Under Item #12 for the active ingredient, delete the EPA registration 

number.

856-415-1374 

856-415-0227 (F) 

Lord's Additives LLC wishes to register an alternate source for our Lord's ZB-SHIELD 

product (EPA Reg. No. 73032-1). Therefore we are submitting this request for an 

Amendment to our Registration for Lord's ZB-SIllELD. 

The amendment is to add an alternative formulation for Lord's ZB-SHIELD. The 

alternate formulation is identical to the primary formulation; the active ingredient is zinc 

borate. The only difference is the producer of the alternate formulation is Zibo Wuwei 

Industrial Chemical Co., LTD, Zibo City, China. Their EPA Establishment Number is 

86568-CHN-00 1. 

As required when registering a second source of an active ingredient, Lord's Additives 

performed the Physical/Chemical studies specified in 40 CFR 158 that are applicable to 

zinc borate. Those studies that are not applicable to this chemical are identified in the 

attachment to Form 8570-35 (Vol. I) along with supporting rational.

Re: Fees for Registration Amendment 

856-415-1374 

856-415-0227 (F) 

Lord's Additives LLC is amending our registration to add an alternative formulation for 

Lord's ZB-SHIELD. The alternate formulation is identical to the primary formulation; 

the active ingredient is zinc borate. The only difference is the producer of the alternate 

formulation is Zibo Wuwei Industrial Chemical Co., LTD, Zibo City, China. Their EPA 

Establishment Number is 86568-CHN-001. 

Lord's believes there is no fee due for this amendment. However, in order to not hold up 

the process, the company is submitting the fee associated with A503. As a small finn the 

fee would be $276. 

We have enclosed a sealed manila envelope with a check for $276 and the business 

confidential documentation required to verify that Lord's Additives LLC is a small 

business with less than 500 employees and annual revenues less than $10 million. 

If our assessment is correct, that there is no fee associated with this amendment, please 

return the entire envelope. 

Sincerely.

1. Stability; The material contains zinc metal and has no know problems coming into 

contact with other metals and metal iOllS. It is stable at over 500°C and is a fire 

retardant. It does not come into contact with other metals during storage. 

2. OxidationIReduction: This chemical is used widely as a fire retardant. It is not an 

oxidizing or reducing agent. 

3. Flammability: The material is a fire retardant. 

4. Explodability: This chemical is remarkably stable. As a fire retardant it is routinely 

incorporated into plastics by compounding, a process that adds heat and pressure to 

the material in an enclosed space. 

5. Miscibility: N/a: This chemical is never diluted with oil or other non-polar solvents. 

6. Storage Stability: 3 month test in progress; previous tests done in support of earlier 

registrations for this chemical show it does not degrade over a one year period. 

7. Corrosion characteristics: Previous testing clearly indicates this material does not 

cause corrosion; tWs will be verified again during the storage stability testing. 

8. Dielectric breakdown voltage: NI A: The material is a powder, not a liquid, and does 

not conduct electricity. 

9. UV Nisible absorption: NI A: use is embedded at low loadings (1 to 5 %) in other end 

use products, such as plastics and wood. It is not directly exposed to UV. 

10. Viscosity: N/A -the material is a powder 

11. Melting Point: . Lord's Additives LLC is submitting a melting point of> 500°C. 

This value is detennined from the procedure involved in perfonning the Preliminary 

Analysis (830.1700) described in Volume ilL 

To detennine the amount of bound water, 5 samples were heated to 500°C for 4 

hours. The resulting weight loss in all cases corresponded to the waters ofhydrul1on 

(13.79 to 14.40%). There was no other weight loss recorded. 

Lord's Additives LLC therefore submits that the melting point of Lora's' Z!3-SHIELD 

is> 500°C. As additional information, tWs value corresponds wel(to. tbe ValUM 

given in the 1991 EPA Fact Sheet for Zinc Borate of> 550°C and the "due listed if I 

the American Wood Preservers Association standard for Zinc Borate·W:;~J.;h states 

«Phase Change at 650°C". 

Page 1 of2

Attachment to Form 8570-35 

(continued) 

12. Boiling Point: N/A This chemical is a solid powder, not a liquid. 

13. Dissociation constant: As stated in the original EPA Fact Sheet for Zinc Borate, the 

chemical is embedded into plastic and wood products. Any leaching from this 

material occurs as zinc and boron ions. 'This was verified in a leaching test required 

as part of the initial registration process. 

14. Vapor Pressure: Negligible; the material is a solid powder.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET 

EPA Registration # 73032-1 

Attributes & Applications 

Lord's ZB-SHIELD is a free flowing, readily dispersible, bright white powder, which does not detract from 

bright colors or pure whites. Its optimum perfonnance is as a corrosion inhibitor and biocide (in-can 

preservative and fungicide) is obtained when Lord's ZB-SHIELD is unifonnly dispersed in coatings. 

Therefore, it should be incorporated during the pigment dispersion cycle in the coating preparation process. 

Lord's ZB-SHIELD is almost insoluble in water at 20°C « 0.3%) and is leach resistant. It is chemically 

stable up to 290°C and therefore can withstand processing temperatures below that value. It contains no 

organic components and as a powder requires no organic solvents. 

Lord's ZB-SHIELD provides protection from wood destroying fungus for wood composite products used in 

above ground applications. Typical applications include decay resistant siding, roofmg and subflooring. 

Wood composites treated with Lord's ZB-SHIELD are not suitable for ground contact and must be 

protected with a water repellent coating when used in exterior applications. When Lord's ZB-SHIELD is 

used in wood composites it should be uniformly distributed throughout the product to provide its most 

efficient use. 

Lord's ZB-SHIELD can also be used is wood plastic composites to protect the wood component of the 

product. It has also been shown to provide resistance to the growth of molds on the surface of these products 

at loadings of 3 % and greater. 

The ability of both wood composites and wood plastic composites to resist decay and mold organisms is 

dependent on the wood type, plastic type, method of production, other additives employed, exposure 

conditions and the amDtmt of preservative employed.

1. Stability: The material contains zinc metal and has no know problems coming into 

contact with other metals and metal ions. It is stable at over 500°C and is a fire 

retardant. It does not come into contact with other metals during storage. 

2. OxidationIReduction: This chemical is used widely as a fire retardant. It is not an 

oxidizing or reducing agent. 

3. Flammability: The material is a fire retardant. 

4. Explodability: This chemical is remarkably stable. As a fire retardant it is routinely 

incorporated into plastics by compounding, a process that adds heat and pressure to 

the material in an enclosed space. 

5. Miscibility: N/a: This chemical is never diluted with oil or other non-polar solvents. 

6. Storage Stability: 3 month test in progress; previous tests done in support of earlier 

registrations for this chemical show it does not degrade over a one year period. 

7. Corrosion characteristics: Previous testing clearly indicates this material does not 

cause corrosion; this will be verified again during the storage stability testing. 

8. Dielectric breakdown voltage: N/A: The material is a powder, not a liqui~ and does 

not conduct electricity. 

9. UVNisible absorption: N/A: use is embedded at low loadings (1 to 5 %) in other end 

use products, such as plastics and wood. It is not directly exposed to UV. 

10. Viscosity: N/A - the material is a powder 

11. Melting Point: . Lord's Additives LLC is submitting a melting point of> 500°C. 

This value is detennined from the procedure involved in perfonning the Preliminary 

Analysis (830.1700) described in Volume III. 

To determine the amount of bound water,S samples were heated to 500°C for 4 

hours. The resulting weight loss in all cases corresponded to the waters of hydrnuo'l 

(13.79 to 14.40%). There was no other weight loss recorded. 

Lord's Additives LLC therefore submits that the melting point ofLUiu). ZB-SHlELD 

is> 500°C. As additional information, this value corresponds well to me valu~ , , ' 

given in the 1991 EPA Fact Sheet for Zinc Borate of> 550°C and tP~ :~:3:lue listed in 

the American Wood Preservers Association standard for Zinc Borate which state:::;-

"Phase Chaoge at 650°C". 

Page I of2 

81
Attachment to Form 8570-35 

(continued) 

12. Boiling Point: NIA This chemical is a solid powder, not a liquid. 

13. Dissociation constant: As stated in the original EPA Fact Sheet for Zinc Borate, the 

chemical is embedded into plastic and wood products. Any leaching from this 

material occurs as zinc and boron ions. This was verified in a leaching test required 

as part of the initial registration process. 

14. Vapor Pressure: Negligible; the material is a solid powder.

Footnotes 

A. During the 21 day initial content review, all eSFs will be reviewed to determine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting 

mistakes on the eSF, etc. or 2) provide the data to support OPP approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

CSF and may require submission of data. All infonnation, forms. data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdrawn within the 21 day period. otherwise. the Agency will reject the 

application as described below. 

To successfully complete this aspect of the 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 

85
site [link to http://wwvl.epa.gov/opprd001/inertsllists.html] and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are nO longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (IIAB) at inertsbranch@epa.govandresolvetheissue. Copies of the 

correspondence with IIAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by nAB. The IIAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://www.epa.gov/oppbppdl!biopesticides/contactsbppd.htm]. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional infonnation such as an alternate name ofthe inert, CAS number or other 

infonnation [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/tips.pdtlmustalso be included 

to enable the Agency to detennine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this infonnation to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component infonnation to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. If the inert ingredients in a proprietary blend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21 ~day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit infonnation to the individual 

identified by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the infonnation and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 

86
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

Conventional New Product Applications 

When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R311, R312 or R313), it will contact the applicant with the 

following-options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (Ibis option may change the PRIA 

category for the application, which could require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none ofthe above options is selected and implemented during the 21-day 

content-review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

When the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it will contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the spelling or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CFR 174, or providing documentation that the inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss hannonizing the timeframe for both actions. 

5 

87
3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none ofthe above options is selected and implemented during the 21 day 

content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the fee. 

B. A policy on documentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me-too or fast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 or A530, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R301 or 

A53 I. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss study waivers 

prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation of such discussions 

should be submitted with the study waiver.
