Issues of Concern/Red Lights (if needed) The products have successfully passed the relevant GreenTag Standard's Cautionary Assessment Process and no issues of concern or red lights comments exist regarding the toxicity of the products
The product uses an expanding agent which contains ADCA (CAS number 123-77-3). ADCA is categorised with H334 (may cause sensitisation by inhalation). It is also on the Candidate List of Substances of very high concern for Authorisation.

ADCA is used to produce foam backing via purposeful reaction. This ingredient is encapsulated with the final flooring product, so there is very rare chance that end uers will be irritated by inhalation. The risk is more likely to happen during the manufacturing process of foam backing and expanding agent itself.

Forbo and its expanding agent supplier provided sufficient evidence that the occupational risks are mitigated.

The products have successfully passed the relevant GreenTag Standard's Cautionary Assessment Process and no issues of concern or red lights comments exist regarding the toxicity of the products.
