REACH in the Donau Chemie Group

REACH is very important for the Donau Chemie Group. We participate in numerous REACH consortia and are the lead registrant for calcium carbide. This allows us to have directly access to the real life of REACH and have our finger at the pulse of the time.

To satisfy your information needs we would like to draw your attention to our REACH position:


Our positions:

• DONAU CHEMIE AG registered all the produced substances, i.e. sulphuric acid, hydrochloric acid, caustic soda, chlorine, sodium hypochlorite, poly aluminium chloride, iron chloride, calcium carbide and calcium oxide. The registration numbers you will find here.

• As a distributor, Donauchem GmbH only purchases products that have been registered under REACH by our suppliers, unless the substance in question is exempt from the registration requirement or has been registered by us. It acts as a link between producers and users by passing on REACH-relevant information in both directions of the supply chain (e.g., hazard communication via safety data sheets).
  The registration numbers you will find here.

• DONAU CARBON GmbH registered activated carbon. 
  The registration numbers you will find here.

Since end of 2008 we have been contacting our business partners to learn about their uses and exposure scenarios. We follow the policy to cover uses with a range as broad as possible. Acting as distributor we will forward your uses and exposure scenarios to our suppliers.
Our material safety data sheets are constantly updated - according to the REACH regulation.
