INADVERTENT PCB (iPCB) PIGMENT resource

 

The iPCB Pigments Resource is a  free searchable dataset of nearly 400 pigments organized by chemical name, CAS#, color, and presence of chlorine. The tool can be used to find alternatives by avoiding those containing or manufactured with chlorine and thus reducing the likelihood of containing iPCBs. Learn more here.

NOTE: The use or presence of chlorine in a pigment or in the pigment manufacturing process does not definitively determine that inadvertent PCBs are present in a pigment. Manufacturing process changes regularly occur, and current information can be obtained by contacting the pigment manufacturer directly. While it is known that some pigments can contain inadvertent PCBs, such as diarylide yellow, it may not be true for all suppliers of it or other pigments that contain chlorine or could be made with chlorinated solvents.
