Green building: Proind’s responsible choice

In today’s construction and environmental sustainability landscape, attention to materials and products that are safe for health and the environment has become a priority. Proind srl stands out in this context, offering technological solutions free of SVHC substances (substances of very high concern), guaranteeing safety and quality without compromise.

SVHCs are chemicals identified by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) under the REACH Regulation (EC Regulation No 1907/2006) because they may have serious effects on human health and the environment. They may be:

• Carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (CMR)
• Persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) or very persistent and very bioaccumulative (vPvB)
• Endocrine disruptors and other substances with equivalent serious effects

SVHCs may be included in the Candidate List and subsequently subject to authorisation for use in the European Union. Avoiding these compounds in construction products means ensuring safer working and living environments, reducing the risk of exposure to hazardous substances.

In line with the growing focus on sustainability, Proind offers products that meet the highest safety standards. A concrete example is the concentrated formwork release agent for wooden formwork NUOVO DISARMOIL, formulated without SVHC substances. This product guarantees effective release action while respecting the environment and the health of operators. Another example is the ALCHIOIL 100 release agent for wooden, iron and concrete formwork, which also contains no solvents or substances that are hazardous to the health of operators, and is therefore free of SVHC and VOC substances.
