2965167 From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Attachments: 5428 Meeting request - Daikin - PFAS restriction proposal under EU REACH Regulation dinsdag 1 februari 2022 17:50:37 image090970.png We hope this email finds you well. We are contacting you on behalf of the company Daikin, one of the world's leading producers of fluorochemicals as well as air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Daikin would like to request a meeting in February/March to discuss the proposal for a restriction of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under REACH, as planned by Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. On the basis of Daikin's input to the calls for evidence, Daikin would be pleased to have the opportunity to further discuss the PFAS chemistry and its uses, as well as thoughts on how to possibly address different categories in the scope of the upcoming restriction proposal. In particular, Daikin produces fluoroelastomers which are precompounded in Daikin's facility in the Netherlands (Oss). The fluoroelastomers produced by Daikin are largely used in the automotive industry, for a key vehicle component requiring particularly high performance and safety standards. Non-fluorinated alternatives are not available. In addition, we would be grateful for the opportunity to also discuss other aspects of the restriction proposal at the meeting, as well as Daikin's suggestions on the exemption needs for fluoropolymers and fluorotelomer uses. The following participants would attend the meeting on behalf of Daikin: I Daikin Chemicals; -- 5.1.2e Daikin Chemicals. If you are interested in a web-based meeting, we would be happy to propose several dates and time slots in the coming weeks of February/March, preferably in the morning. In the meantime, we thank you for your consideration and remain at your disposal should you need additional information.
