BNST¶
In response to Canada’s Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations of 2012, many companies updated their Engineering Specification to prohibit the use of Benzenamine, N-phenyl-reaction products with styrene and 2,4,4-trimethylpentene (BNST) (CAS 68921-45-9). These consumers request that all suppliers immediately report any use of BNST to them via GDX. In order to fulfill the request, please follow the instructions below.
