Part I: What is REACH?

REACH full name explanation: Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals;
It is the EU's chemical management regulations. REACH stipulates that any product that wants to be sold in the EU, as long as it contains chemicals, must tell the EU what these ingredients are, whether they are dangerous, and how to use them safely.

The chemicals we come into contact with in our daily lives are everywhere, such as: stationery: highlighters, glue, plastic folders; clothes: coatings, dyes, prints; paints, detergents, plastic products, perfumes, nail polishes, etc. If toxic chemicals are used in these products, they may cause damage to the skin, respiratory tract, and even the inside of the body. Some will also enter nature through air or water, affecting the health of animals and plants, and even causing pollution.

Part 2: Basic knowledge of fluorescent pigments

1. What is the difference between fluorescent pigments and ordinary pigments?
We can see various colors on the colored pencils, clothes, toys or packaging bags in your hands, some are red, some are blue, and some are even bright enough to be "blinding". These colors mainly come from pigments. But have you noticed that some colors are particularly bright under sunlight or light, as if they can glow by themselves? These are the so-called fluorescent pigments.
The principle of ordinary pigments is to absorb part of the light and reflect another part. For example, red pigments reflect red light and absorb other colors. Fluorescent pigments can reflect light, also convert the absorbed ultraviolet rays (invisible to the naked eye) into visible light! This is why you feel it is particularly bright.
Fluorescent pigments are very common in daily life:
Stationery: fluorescent pens, highlighters, colored markers, student markers;
Clothing: reflective strips on sportswear, logos on police uniforms, printed patterns on clothing;
Inks: fluorescent magazine covers, posters;
Plastic products: fluorescent toys, fluorescent mobile phone cases, plastic stationery;
Cosmetics: party makeup, nail polish, eye shadow;

Part 3: What is special about fluorescent pigments that comply with REACH standards?

1. Contains no harmful substances such as heavy metals and phthalates
2. The manufacturing process is more environmentally friendly
3. Safer to use: will not be absorbed through the skin, will not evaporate into toxic gases

Part 4: Examples of real-life applications

Your highlighter may be REACH-compliant, the fluorescent pattern on your night running sportswear may also be REACH-compliant, and some brand stationery will be specially marked "REACH compliant".
How do manufacturers achieve environmental protection step by step? (For example: China's largest fluorescent pigment factory - Wanlong Chemical Co., Ltd.) From the beginning, we use safe raw materials that do not contain those harmful to people and the environment; the production process is also closed to prevent the discharge of harmful gases and wastewater; each batch of products will be tested with special instruments before leaving the factory to ensure that they do not exceed the standard and are not dangerous.
