Consumer Uses
ECHA has no public registered data indicating whether or in which chemical products the substance might be used.
Release to the environment of this substance can occur from industrial use:
industrial abrasion processing with low release rate (e.g. cutting of textile, cutting, machining or grinding of metal).
Other release to the environment of this substance is likely to occur from:
indoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. flooring, furniture, toys, construction materials, curtains, foot-wear, leather products, paper and cardboard products, electronic equipment) and
outdoor use in long-life materials with low release rate (e.g. metal, wooden and plastic construction and building materials).
