FAIRLAWN, OHIO (Feb. 25)—The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has granted full regulatory approval to two first-generation products in Omnova Solutions Inc.'s PolyFox-brand line of fluorosurfactants.
Following rigorous testing by Omnova, the EPA approved premanufacture notices on PolyFox TM and PolyFox VM fluorosurfactants. This allows the products to have a Toxic Substance Control Act listing, meaning Omnova has full approval to manufacture and sell them in the U.S. in all areas of application, the company said.
The two PolyFox products also have successfully undergone required environmental and health-related studies in Europe and the company has obtained European Union listing after review by the environmental and safety and health agencies in the United Kingdom.
