About
A dehexanizer off-gas from petroleum refining containing butadiene above regulatory thresholds, prohibited from cosmetic formulations.
This is a dehexanizer overhead stream from petroleum refining containing >0.1% w/w 1,3-butadiene. Butadiene is classified as a Category 1B mutagen (H340) and Category 1 carcinogen (H350) under EU CLP Regulation 1272/2008. The EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 prohibits CMR Category 1A/1B substances in cosmetic products (Annex II), and this stream is captured under regulatory language intended to prevent butadiene-containing substances from entering the cosmetics supply chain.
