# OPTIONAL POLLUTION PREVENTION INFORMATION To claim information in this section as confidential circle or bracket the specific information that you claimas confidential. 

## In this section you mayprovide information not reported elsewhere in this form regarding your efforts to reduce orminimize potential risks associated with activities surrounding manufacturing, processing, use and disposal ofthe Pl'v1N substance. Please include new information pertinent to pollution prevention, including source reduction, recycling activities and safer processes orproducts available due tothe new chemical substance. Source reduction includes the reduction in the amount ortoxicity ofchemical wastes by technological modification, process and proceduremodification, productreformulation, raw materials substitution, and/or inventory control. Recycling refers to the reclamation ofuseful chemical components from wastes that would otherwise be treated orreleased as air emissions orwater discharges, orland disposal. Descriptions ofpollution prevention, sourcereduction and recycling should emphasize potential risk reduction subsequent to compliance with existing regulatory requirements and can be either quantitative or qualitative. The EPAis interested in the information to assess overall net reductions in toxicity or environmentalreleases and exposures, not the shifting ofrisks to other environmental media ornon-environmental areas (e.g., occupational or consumer exposure). In addition, information on the relative cost orperformance characteristics ofthe PMN substance topotential alternatives may beprovided. All information provided in this section will be taken into consideration during the review ofthis substance. See InstructionsManualand Pollution Prevention Guidance manual for guidance and examples. Describe the expected net benefits, such as (1) an overall reduction in risk to humanhealth or the environment; (2) a reduction in the volumemanufactured; (3) a reduction in the generation ofwastematerials through recycling, source reduction or other means; (4) a reduction in potential toxicity or human exposure and/or environmental release; (5) an increasein product performance, a decrease in the cost ofproduction and/or improved operation efficiency ofthenewchemical substance in comparison to existingchemical substances used in similar application; or (6) the extent towhich thenewchemical substance maybe a substitute for an existing substance that poses a greater overall risk tohuman health or the environment.



## 1. The new substance provides high weather and chemical resistance to coatings. This reduces the need for frequent repainting of the underlying substrate. 2. The new substance will replace applications, which require the use of urethane technology. Urethane based coatings can have small quantities of free isocyanates present. 3. Our plan is to eventually eliminate the use of xylene as an additive thereby offering a low

# voe coating to replace the currently used high 

# voe containing coatings. 4. The new substance provides a coating composition in which the crosslinking mechanism is primarily an addition reaction, which renders fewer byproducts as compared to cold blended silicone polymers.

# ATTACHMENT 5 Part 1, Section C, Subsection 2(a)-Production and Use Information 

## TECHNICAL BULLETIN

The new polymer, SILRES EP 100 will be manufactured in the USA by Wacker Silicones, A Division of Wacker Chemical Corporation located in Adrian, Michigan. SILRES EP 100 will be manufactured as a binder for use in formulating industrial coating formulations. The new substance will be blended with xylene (10-30%) and packaged in 440 lb. drums (220 kg).
The new polymer will be formulated by industrial customers with other resins or crosslinkers which will react with the epoxy groups on the new polymer to form a silicone-epoxy coating. The amount of the new substance blended with the blending resin or crosslinker will depend on the desired performance ofthe finished coating. Typically the amount of the new substance in the formulated products will be 10-40%. Pigments, fillers, extenders and other additives may be added to enhance the performance of the finished coating. The finished coatings are sold to commercial contractors who will apply the coating by spraying. Please see the attached Technical Bulletin for further details.

# SILRES EPIOO

GeneralInformation SILRES EPIOO is a glycidoxy functional siliconepolymer, which is used as abinder to increase UV resistance ofcoating formulations. This patented* technology**combin~s** 

## the chemical resistance and adheSIon ofan epoxyresin with the UV and high temperature resistance ofa silicone polymerinto oneproduct. The high degree ofepoxy functionality on the SILRES EP1 00 make it ideal for developing low VOC (volatile organic compounds), room temperature curable coatings, which have little to no film shrinkage. The incorporation ofa glycidoxy group directly to the silicon through a Si-Cbond increases the resistance ofthe polymerto hydrolysis. 

# Use Information SILRESEPIOO has a weight perepoxy ofbetween 250-350gleq., which make it 

## highly reactive with nuc1eophiles such as phosphoric acid, amine and amino functional curing agents. The degree of replacement oforganic binder should be determined through laboratory evaluations. The replacement ofthe entire polymer side of2 pack systems
with the 

## SILRES EPIOO will increase the UV resistance ofthe coating.

, 

# "'" Wacker Silicones

The silicone polymer is onlya portion of the coating formulation, and therefor by using special pigments, extenders and hardeners maximum UV resistance can be

## obtained. The White Guide formulation utilizes exteriorgrade titanium dioxide from Dupont. There are otherpigment suppliers with the same type ofproduct whichcan be 

## used. The hardeners which can beused are amine functional sHanes with different degrees ofalkoxy functionality, phosphoric acid, acid functional acrylates, amines. The hardness and dry time ofthe**co~ting** 

## can be eitherincreased ordecreased based on the type ofhardenerused, and the epoxyto hydrogen ratio. The use of a linearorflexible hardener, such as leffamine D400 with a 1: 1 amineto epoxy equivalent ratio, will increase the flexibility ofthe coating, and prevent cracking. The use oftrialkoxy amino functional silanes (see table) as the hardener require an epoxy to hydrogen equivalent weight ratio of8: 1to minimize cracking. Decreasing the epoxy to hydrogen ratio to 1: 1 decreases the dry time to less than four hours. Note that the latterratio will have a tendency to crackifalkoxy functional arninosilanes are used as the hardener. The use ofacid functional acrylic polymers as the hardenerinpolysiloxane systems will also improve UV resistance, chemical resistance, and adhesion ofthe coating. The acid to

epoxy ratio should be kept at 1: 1 (see decrease to .9: 1

## will effect the table). An increase to 1.1: 1or a performance ofthe finished product.

## INTRODUCTION: The new polymer is a phenyl silsesquioxane reacted with a glycidoxy silane. [It contains unreacted monomers. There is no toxicological data available on the new polymer but one of the monomers has been studied extensively. The actual molecular weight of the new polymer is between 750 and 5000. When the coating products are formulated using the new polymer, hardeners such as aminosilanes are used to form an epoxy-polyslloxane composition. To increase the rate of crosslinking reaction, catalysts can be used. Flow additives and pigments and other additives can also be added. The resulting coating can be sprayed applied without additional solvents if desired. The final coating product cures at ambient temperatures. The new polymer cures to form a 

# U.V. light, heat and corrosion resistant coating by crosslinking at room temperature through the epoxy groups by way of an addition reaction. The reaction will continue until all the reactive groups have been depleted or the molecular weight ofthe polymer increases to where it is no longer mobile. 

## HUMAN HEALTH ASSESSMENT The two monomers used to produce the new polymer have a low vapor pressure and therefore there is little potential for inhalation exposure. One monomer is a highly reactive, rapidly hydrolyzing chemical and therefore has to be handled very carefully to maintain its integrity. While there is some animal evidence of a necrotizing effect following dermal exposure with this monomer, it is more likely that hydrolysis after skin contact will occur resulting in the formation of high molecular weight polymers incapable of penetrating the skin barrier thus excluding systemic availability. Ingestion of the new polymer is not considered to be a relevant route of exposure. If there were some ingestion by accident, it is expected that the material would hydrolyze and polymerize in the stomach. Since this would be expected to occur rapidly, there would be little chance for absorption from the gut. Commercial application of the coatings containing the new polymer, is usually accomplished by spraying. This requires the use of a respirator and protective clothing due to the solvents and other additives used. Once the coating is applied and fully cured (usually within 4 hours) the new polymer is fully crosslinked and incorporated into the coating. 

## ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT The potential for environmental impact in manufacturing and formulating ofthe coatings is minimized by the use of incineration. In the commercial application area, any unintentional releases into the environment would be minimized by the ability of this material to polymerize quickly and to form high molecular weight polymers or to form less reactive end groups. Once the coating is applied and fully cured (usually within 4 hours) the new polymer is fully crosslinked and incorporated into the coating.
