Pre-registered substances

Borealis has pre-registered the following substances to ECHA.

Polyolefin monomers

There is no obligation to pre-register or register polymers according to REACH. Instead monomer constituents of polymers need to be registered. As described below, Borealis has pre-registered the monomer substances - ethylene and propylene - of our polyolefin products.

Monomers	CAS / EC number	Date of pre-registration
Ethylene	74-85-1 / 200-815-3	15.08.2008
Propylene	115-07-1 / 204-062-1	21.08.2008

Base Chemicals / Borealis

Olefins & Feedstock	CAS / EC number	Date of pre-registration
1,3-butadiene	106-99-0 / 203-450-8	1 5.08.2008
Crude C4	68955-28-2 / 273-265-5	15.08.2008
ETBE	637-92-3 / 211-309-7	15.08.2008
Pygas	265-187-5 / 64742-83-2	02.10.2008

Phenol	CAS / EC number	Date of pre-registration
Phenol	108-95-2 / 203-632-7	15.08.2008

Cumene	98-82-8 / 202-704-5	15.08.2008

Base Chemicals / AMI

HIPE®ESIN grades are polymers according to REACH polymer definition. As described below, Borealis/AMI has pre-registered the monomer - melamine - of our HIPE®ESIN grades.

Linzer Ware® grades (fertilizers) are preparations. Therefore individual components have to be registered. These substances and further information about our fertilizer activities can be found on the EFMA webpage.

Melamine & Plant Nutrients	CAS / EC number	Date of pre-registration
Ammonia	7664-41-7 / 231-635-3	13.08.2008
