Re: Recognition of PMN P-06-078 as 2007 New Chemicals Program Pollution Prevention (P2) Recognition Award Recipient

Dear Ms. Church:

It is a special honor for me to congratulate you for commencing manufacture of a chemical with particular merit for its potential to prevent pollution in the environment. The above-referenced Premanufacture Notice (PMN), which you submitted under section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and for which you have submitted a Notice of Commencement, is being recognized for its “pollution prevention” (P2) potential.

The Agency acknowledges submitters of innovative new chemicals which are selected for recognition because they promote source reduction as well as safety goals, in particular when the innovative chemistries substitute for existing chemicals posing greater risks. EPA has selected your company for this recognition for the following reasons: Cartaspers PSM an aqueous-based substance provides reduced worker exposure to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and improved paper machine operational efficiency during the use of post-consumer waste in the production of paper products.

Since limited information on this new chemical is currently available to EPA, I would like to request that you keep EPA informed of the commercial success of this substance. Please submit any new information that you consider helpful in this context and any new toxicity data that becomes available to the Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics Document Control Office, EPA East Building, 1201 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Room # 6428, Washington, D.C. 20004, (202) 564-8930. Again, I congratulate Clariant Corporation on your efforts.

Sincerely,

Charles M. Auer
Director
Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics
