What about mercury? Mercury. You will find it in this place. Interestingly enough, infuse also. In batteries, even if it’s out of the RoHS scope. For the Battery directive.
Cadmium. Interestingly enough, cadmium is used in plastics. You know, if you have a color like a pigment, a color from yellow to red, it may contain cadmium. There are many replacements, other colorants but the industry used to use Cadmium. Same thing for PVC cables. They may contain Cadmium. Also, in connectors, because we would use Cadmium as a finish, or a coating, connectors for their physical properties. It’s it’s useful. It’s interesting to get Cadmium.
Hexavalent chromium. So, it’s not every type of chromium just the hexavalent form of it, used for example as a finish. Normally, it’s replaced by a trivalent form of chromium but the trivalent is slightly more expensive. Some companies that are not familiar with the rules or sell only for let’s say for aerospace industries may still use hexavalent chromium and so we need to make sure that you have a trivalent chromium part, not a hexavalent chromium one.
Again, for cadmium or mercury, it’s not only the pure form of cadmium or mercury but every compound.
PBB and PBDEs are families and are used as flame retardants. You expect them in plastics.
The four new phthalates we just discussed, DEHP, BBP, DBP, and DIBP are individuals that are typically found in PVC plastics. They are found in all the type of plastics, possibly and also in rubbers.
