As part of that effort, it entered the National Partnership for Environmental Priorities program, which encourages organizations to form voluntary partnerships with the EPA to reduce the use and release of 31 priority chemicals, including lead. Teams from both companies worked together on the needed conversion, eventually developing new Geon™ vinyl compounds using stabilizers without lead that delivered equivalent processing and performance parameters. In addition to developing the right materials, the teams worked closely to transition all aspects of manufacturing using the new materials.
