BACKGROUND: Lord's Additives LLC has submitted updated product chemistry information for the manufacturing-use product, Lord's ZB-SHIELD, for the purpose ofadding 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 ofwood or wood-plastic composites, coatings, and plastic products. The data package included a Confidential Statement ofFormula (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).

Results from the analysis ofthree batches ofthe new alternative formulation (rather than five batches) were provided. Ifthe preliminaryresults are not acceptable, then:
To satisfy OPPTS 830.1700 (Preliminary Analysis) requirements, results from the analysis oftwo additional batches ofthe new alternative formulation from a GLPcompliant study must be provided.

• An outline ofprocedures for enforcement ofthe 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 1year from a GLP-compliant storage stability and corrosion characteristics study must be provided. Testing ofthe product is cUlTently underway. [It appears that the study underway might be a 3-month study.] The concentration ofthe active ingredient in the product mustbe determined at the beginning ofthe test period and every 3 months thereafter for a period of 1year. 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 ofthe 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 belowthe "Environmental Hazards" section ofthe product label. Under the new "Physical or Chemical Hazards" section ofthe product label, place a statementregarding the incompatibility oftheproduct with acids and alkalis as evidenced by information contained on the MSDS. [Note to EPAReviewer: Please confirm this recommendation.]

Lord's Additives LLC is amending ourregistration 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 ofthe 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 orderto not hold up the process, the company is submittingthe fee associated with A503. As a small finn the fee wouldbe $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. Ifourassessment is correct, thatthere is no fee associated with this amendment, please return the entire envelope. Sincerely.

# Lord's ZB-SHIELD TECHNICAL DATA SHEET EPA Registration # 73032-1



## Attributes & 

## Applications

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

### bright colors orpure whites. Its optimumperfonnance is as a corrosioninhibitor and biocide (in-can preservative andfungicide) is obtained when Lord's ZB-SHIELD is unifonnly dispersed in coatings. Therefore, 

### it should be incorporated during thepigmentdispersion cycle inthe coatingpreparation process.

Lord's ZB-SHIELD is almostinsoluble in water at 20°C 

# « 0.3%) and is leachresistant. 

### Itis chemically stableup to 290°C and therefore canwithstandprocessing temperatures belowthat value. It contains no organic components and as a powderrequires no organic solvents.

Lord's ZB-SHIELD providesprotection from wood destroying fungus for woodcomposite products used in above ground applications. Typical applications include decay resistant siding, roofmg and subflooring. Wood compositestreated with Lord's ZB-SHIELD are not suitable for ground contact and must be protected with a waterrepellent coating when used 

### in exterior applications. When Lord's ZB-SHIELD is used 

### inwood composites it should beuniformly distributed throughout the productto provide its most efficientuse.

Lord's ZB-SHIELD can also be used is woodplastic composites to protectthe wood component ofthe product. It

### has also been shownto provide resistance to the growth ofmolds onthe surface ofthese products at loadings of3% 

### and greater.

The ability ofbothwood composites andwood plastic composites to resist decay and mold organisms is dependent onthe woodtype, plastic type, method ofproduction, otheradditives employed, exposure conditions andthe amDtmt ofpreservative employed.

### Not Applicable

Footnotes A. Duringthe 21 day initial contentreview, all eSFs will be reviewed to determine whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. Ifan 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 theinert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting mistakes on the eSF, etc. or2) provide the data to support OPP approval ofthe inert or 3) withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new CSF and may require submission ofdata. All infonnation, forms. data and documentation resolving the inert issue musthave been received bythe Agency orthe application withdrawn within the 21 day period. otherwise. the Agency will reject the application as described below.
To successfully complete this aspect ofthe 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

### site [link to http://wwvl.epa.gov/opprd001/inertsllists.html] and ifthe inert is not approved, to obtain the necessary inert approvalprior to submitting an application to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert ingredients arenO longer approved for food uses or certain types ofuses. The name and/or CAS numberon a CSF mustmatchthe name and CAS number on this web site. Simple typographical errors in thename orCAS numberhave resulted in processing delays.
Ifan inert is not listed on the inertingredient web site and the applicant believes that the inerthas been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment Branch (IIAB) at inertsbranch@epa.govandresolvetheissue. Copies ofthe 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 anyquestions 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 Chiefof Microbial Pesticides Branch [Linkto http://www.epa.gov/oppbppdl!biopesticides/contactsbppd.htm]. When a brand, trade, or proprietaryname ofan inertingredient is listed on a CSF, additional infonnation such as an alternate name oftheinert, CAS number or other infonnation [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprd001/inerts/tips.pdtlmustalso be included to enable the Agency to detennineifit has been approved. Each component ofaninert mixture (including a fragrance) mustbe identified. In some cases, the supplier ofthe mixtureor fragrance mayneed to provide this infonnation to the Agency. Priorto the Agency's receipt ofan application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or fragrance supplier to provide the component infonnation to the Agency orpromptlyupon EPA's request. Ifthe inertingredients in a proprietaryblend (including fragrances) cannot or are not identified orprovided within the 21**~day** 

### contentreview period, the Agency will reject the application. During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit infonnation to the individual identified bythe Agency when the applicant is informed ofan 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. Ifthis option is selected and implemented, the Agencymay request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate the inertreview/approval process;
4

### 3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% ofthe full fee for the fee categoryestimated); or Ifnone ofthese options is selected and implementedbythe applicant withinthe 21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% ofthe full fee ofthe category identified. Conventional New Product Applications When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert ona CSF with an application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an inert approval (R311, R312 orR313), it will contact the applicant with the following-options: 1. Correct the application by, for instance, correctingthe inert's identity or CAS number, providing documentation that theinerthas 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. Submitthe information and data needed for theAgencyto approve the unapproved inert, including anyrequired petition to establish or amend a tolerance orexemption from a tolerance. (Ibis option may change the PRIA category for the application, which couldrequire a longer decision review time and a larger fee. Ifadditional fees are due, theymust bereceived by the Agency within the 21 daycontentreview period.) 3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% ofthe full fee for the fee category estimated); or

Ifnone 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, correctingthe spelling orname ofthe inert to that in 40 CFR 174, orproviding documentation that the inert has been approved; or 2. Submit the information and data needed for theAgencyto approve the unapproved inert. Ifan inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is required, the petition mustbe received bythe Agency and the B903 fee paid within the 21 dayperiod. Ifthis option is selected and implemented, the Agency will discuss hannonizing the timeframe forboth actions. 5

### 3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% ofthe full fee for the fee category estimated); or Ifnone 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 ofoffers to pay is still being developed, however, for a me-too orfast track (similar/identical) new product, R300 orA530, an application withoutthe necessary authorizations ofoffers to pay will be placed into either R301 or A53I. TheAgency recommends that authorizations ofoffers to paybe submitted with other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. C. Biopesticide applicants are advised to contact the Agency and discuss studywaivers prior to submitting their application to the Agency. Documentation ofsuch discussions shouldbe submitted with the study waiver.
