The European Union’s adoption of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) was a watershed moment for Kalas Manufacturing.
Most important, we have made a contribution to a cleaner, safer planet through the reduction of huge amounts of lead and other hazardous substances, an achievement that all of us at Kalas can feel good about.”

Tracers, also called taggants, are unique substances included in a material to tag or identify it.
The substances can then be identified through specific testing.

The active substance used is non-hydroscopic, does not migrate within the polymer, and resists leaching under typical conditions.
Low-concern solutions like this are increasingly required in many countries, where additives such as lindane, pyrethroids, copper naphthenate and other substances are either banned or progressively replaced.
