Specific Concentration Limits

Adding a CLP Specific Concentration Limit (SCL) to a Raw Material In the example shown there are Specific Concentration Limits (SCL’s) for skin and eye corrosion. Here are the general instructions about adding SCL’s for Acetic Acid The SCL’s are added to the properties which have ‘=’ at the end (the = properties relate to calculations). In the example of Acetic Acid the CLP Annex VI Harmonised Annex VI (1272/2008/EC) shows a classification of SCI 1A and related SCL&...

Properties – Making a formulation property appear if all the raw materials have the property

Properties – Making a formulation property appear if all the raw materials have the property. This can be useful e.g. to assign ‘Organic’ to a formulation if all the ingredients are Organic, or to assign an inventory status to a formulation if all the ingredients are listed on a Country inventory. In both these cases we will be considering the physical composition i.e. raw materials you buy (not what’s inside them, the regulatory composition). Example: a raw material you...

Properties Overview

Properties Overview Properties is a term that broadly relates to many of the values and attributes attached to items. Examples of properties include flashpoint, colour, stability, purpose, hazard pictogram, signal word. Project properties are properties which relate to projects and tasks, they are similar to item properties, but are simpler and are not discussed in this article. The application comes pre-loaded with many properties and they can be seen in the Properties tab of raw materials and...

Property Calculation – Understanding Accumulation Percent

Property Calculation – Understanding Accumulation Percent When a Property is added with a Percent value, you can also calculate the total of the property in compositions using an ‘Accumulation Percent’ calculation. Example – VOC Percent A property VOCPC is added with a value type of Percent: The calculation tab shows this is required to be calculated for compositions, using the ‘Accumulation Percent’ method. The property based on is ‘VOCPC’ and the...

M Factors

How do I add M Factors for a raw material? In Formpak there are 3 Properties for M Factors: *M Factor – The M Factor to use for both Acute and Chronic *M Factor Acute *M Factor Chronic These properties are found in the ‘GHS Hazards’ property group. Setting an M Factor = 1, means no change from the regular hazard. Usually, the M factor applies equally to both acute and chronic environmental hazards. In this situation you apply the M factor to ‘M Factor’. For example,...

Manufacturing Instructions

Manufacturing Instructions Formpak has a feature that allows Manufacturing Instructions to be added to a Formulation. This allows the formulation developer to add specific details and order to the formulation so it is manufactured in the correct way. These details can be viewed in the Composition Design Tool (CDT) screen and also at the top of an Item Composition Report. By adding instructions for each Stage and then a Stage number to each component, you can group components together and give in...
