  1. Indestructible Paints REACH through the eyes of an SME

  2. Indestructible Paints • Birmingham based SME • Trading since 1978 • Suppliers of coatings to the Aerospace & Allied Industries, and other bespoke applications • Stocking facilities in UK, USA, France, India, Singapore, Saudi Arabia • Exporting to over 40 countries world wide

  3. Major Customers • Rolls Royce • Turbomeca • ITP • Sikorskey • Mc Donnell Douglas Boeing • HAL India • Messier Dowty • Honeywell • Pratt & Whitney • MTU • Allied signal • Eurocopter • BAE • Snecma • Goodrich • Hamilton Sunstrand

  4. Product Types • Organic coatings, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Acrylic, Silicone modified, Polyimide's, etc • Inorganic and sacrificial coatings • Diffusion coatings and Ceramic products • Intumescent and Thermal Barrier coatings

  5. Where to Start Two fires and two floods equals incomplete records. Then along came REACH

  6. Create a Database Old school Excel files for: Raw materials. Supplier Contacts. Customer Contacts. Separate e-mail folders for the equivalent categories.

  7. Collecting Chemical Data • The critical data for the majority of the RM’s is available from the suppliers MSDS. • Data for Substances that we manufacture is affected by the age of the records and people.

  8. Pre-Registration • For the majority of our substances Indestructible is a downstream user. To date we have had a good positive response for pre-registration of our raw materials. • Pre-registration of the chemicals that we produce is scheduled for July. Early identification of these materials has proven invaluable.

  9. Customer Communications • Produce a concise covering letter that provides contact details and data relevant to business continuity. • Brief Indestructible staff on the effects of REACH and how to respond to REACH enquiries.

  10. Good Communication Rolls Royce have the best example to date: • Phone Indestructible ask to speak about REACH • Exchange details with the REACH coordinator and exchange information as required

  11. Messy Communication • REACH letters addressed to the CEO • This letter was copied by two directors and a PA. • The REACH coordinator receives three letters over several days. • The cost of REACH escalates. • Valid receipt of multiple letters from an organisation can be overlooked.

  12. Indestructible REACH letter • Our intention to conform to REACH • Contact details for REACH coordinator • Position in the supply chain • Information that we can provide

  13. Examples of information that I cannot supply. • Provide details of quantities of each substance used in our products across all parts • Please arrange for a copy of the pre-registration to be sent to me

  14. REACHed the end Indestructible Paints intends to survive REACH
