About

An amine system feed gas that contains butadiene above the 0.1% w/w limit, placing it in the EU's most restricted category of cosmetic-prohibited substances.

Gas stream fed to an amine-based gas treating unit for acid gas removal, containing residual C1–C5 hydrocarbons including 1,3-butadiene at levels above 0.1% w/w. The butadiene content above this regulatory threshold places this substance on EU Annex II of Regulation 1223/2009 as a CMR Cat 1A agent absolutely prohibited from cosmetic use in EU member states.

Known concerns

  • Contains 1,3-butadiene >0.1% w/w — EU Annex II CMR Cat 1A carcinogen, prohibited in cosmetics
  • Volatile gas stream with inhalation hazard dominating over any dermal route
  • IARC Group 1 human carcinogen — zero tolerance in EU cosmetic formulations
