REACH Certified Adhesive Tapes for Export
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Adhesive Solutions Meeting European REACH Requirements
The range of REACH Certified Adhesive Tapes is specifically designated for manufacturers exporting components and finished goods to the European Union (EU) and related markets. REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is a comprehensive regulation that requires us to document, evaluate, and manage the risks posed by chemical substances throughout their lifecycle. Our compliance focus ensures that the concentration of any Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) within the tape (adhesives, backings, liners) is below the required 0.1% weight-by-weight (w/w) threshold, or that these substances are properly registered and communicated. This certification goes beyond elemental restrictions, covering thousands of chemicals, guaranteeing legal market entry and high material safety standards for users and the environment.
- SVHC Management: Continuous monitoring and testing against the regularly updated REACH Candidate List.
- Chemical Safety: Provides assurance regarding the long-term safety of materials used in the adhesive product.
- Supply Chain Transparency: Facilitates easy data exchange and conformity declarations for customers.
Why Choose Us
Critical Guarantees for International Business
- Validated SVHC Status: We provide full material content declarations to confirm that no substance on the current REACH Candidate List is present above the regulatory threshold of 0.1%. This ensures acceptance by European Customs and B2B buyers.
- Audit-Ready Documentation: Our comprehensive documentation package includes testing protocols, raw material source declarations, and a full statement of conformity, significantly simplifying your internal regulatory audits.
- Risk Minimization: By guaranteeing REACH compliance, SXT removes a major material-related barrier to entry for the EU market, protecting your imported goods from customs delays or rejection.
- Formulation Stability: The use of established, registered chemical pathways ensures that the tape's composition is stable and less susceptible to the sudden material changes that can be triggered by future REACH restrictions.
Core Features
Export-Critical Applications and Industries
- General Manufacturing Export: Used in packaging, bundling, and internal assembly for any product being sold within the EU (e.g., furniture, tools, textiles).
- Automotive Tier Suppliers: Bonding and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) applications where every component must have a documented material declaration before installation in a vehicle sold in Europe.
- Construction Materials: Sealing and insulation tapes for building envelope applications, ensuring longevity and material safety in European projects.
- Electrical & Electronics (E&E): Complements RoHS compliance by ensuring the chemical components of the tape itself are also safe and registered.

Usage Guide
Chemical Compliance Scope: REACH vs. Other Standards
| Standard | Scope of Substances | Focus Area | Compliance Mechanism |
| REACH | Thousands of chemicals (SVHCs, Annex XVII) | Chemical Safety, Risk Management, Registration | Documentation of SVHC concentration (w/w basis) |
| RoHS | 10 specific hazardous substances (elements/compounds) | Restriction of EEE Hazardous Substances | Maximum Concentration Values (MCV) |
| Prop 65 (CA) | Over 900 listed chemicals | Consumer Warning (Cancer/Reproductive Harm) | Warning Labeling (if present above threshold) |
| SGS Certified Tapes | Client-specific or standard substance testing | Third-Party Verification | Independent audit and test report |
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What specific part of the tape requires REACH compliance checks?
- A: REACH applies to the tape as a whole "article." This means every component—the backing material (foil, cloth, film), the adhesive layer, and the release liner (if present)—must be checked to ensure that no part contains an SVHC above the 0.1% concentration limit.
- Q: How often is the REACH Candidate List updated, and how does SXT manage this?
- A: The Candidate List is typically updated twice a year (around January and July). SXT maintains an active monitoring program, immediately reviewing any newly listed SVHCs against our current formulations and proactively seeking alternative materials if necessary to maintain continuous compliance.
- Q: Is a REACH-compliant tape automatically RoHS compliant?
- A: No. While there is overlap (e.g., Lead is restricted by both), the standards are independent. A tape must be specifically tested and confirmed against the unique substance lists and concentration limits of both directives to be fully compliant with both RoHS and REACH.
