Higher Methacrylate REACH Task Force
The European Union (EU) regulation for Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals was entered into force on 1st June 2007 with the objective to protect human health and the environment from the risks that can be posed by chemicals. The Higher Methacrylate REACH Task Force (HMRTF), also comprised of MPA member companies as well as other manufacturers in the EU and Japan (including: BASF SE, Dow Europe GmbH, Evonik Operations GmbH, Mitsubishi Chemical Methacrylates and Röhm1), completed the registration under EUREACH for the following higher methacrylates:

Most of the registrations included the conduct of several studies to meet data requirements for compounds in the higher tonnage bands, a comprehensive hazard assessment for each compound, as well as an assessment of safe handling conditions for identified uses of each compound.
Other REACH like Programs have been initiated (e.g., Korea, Turkey, Taiwan, United Kingdom) which may require registration of some of the above substances. The HMRTF member companies are currently assessing their intentions to assume the role of Lead Registrant for these substances in some of these programs. If a company plans to register under any of these programs, please contact the HMRTF (Julie Spink at reachmethacrylatetaskforce@gmail.com).
