Huntsman Fully Compliant with REACH after Completing First Phase of Registration

EVERBERG, Belgium -- Huntsman Corporation announced that it is fully compliant with REACH legislation - European Regulation (EC) NO. 1907/2006.

All substances manufactured and imported by the business were successfully submitted to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) ahead of schedule.

From its inception, Huntsman has fully supported the REACH program to "Register, Evaluate and Authorize Chemicals" in order to improve safe use of chemicals and protect human health and the environment. Reflecting this, the business acted as lead registrant for more than 40% of the substances it submitted during the first phase of registration.

In addition, substances manufactured and imported by Huntsman with a later registration deadline have all been pre-registered and are therefore also REACH compliant.
