The Rubber Meets the Road with California’s Green Chemistry Law
The California Department of Toxic Substances Control has designated motor vehicle tires containing the chemical N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) as a “priority product.” The DTSC designation, which becomes effective on Oct. 1, 2023, makes tires containing 6PPD the seventh priority product identified under the state’s Safer Consumer Products regulations.
