EU Fights Back Against EU and National Regulators

摘要

The European coatings industry and its raw material suppliers are preparing the ground for a fight-back against European Union and national regulators on proposed safety restrictions on titanium dioxide and certain biocides. The industry claims that the TiO2 challenge would have a major impact on the whole industry while stricter controls on biocides would raise doubts about the future of waterborne coatings as an alternative to solvent-based coatings.
