Meeting Summary

On January 17, 2023, representatives from EPA met with Eastman to their use of PIP (3:1) in lubricants, greases, and hydraulic fluids, as well as the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by workers applying their products. EPA asked whether Eastman's lubricant and grease product line have only aviation uses, whether their customers use their products as part of a routine maintenance schedule (for example, how frequently do their customers replace hydraulic fluid in equipment), and what PPE their customers use. Eastman did not provide answers during the meeting but stated that their product managers would submit the information to EPA as soon as possible.
