Reciprocal Calculation Procedure (RCP) part 1: what hydrocarbon solvents and RCP are
To protect workers' health, ESIG has just published two videos explaining how to calculate occupational exposure limits of hydrocarbon solvents thanks to the Reciprocal Calculation Procedure.
Solvents explained
Watch this video to learn about solvents and the industry’s impact in Europe. See how ESIG encourages best practice and supports innovation.
Solvent VOC emissions inventories
The updated ESIG Solvents VOC inventories are out now with the 2015 estimated emissions. This February 2018 technical paper shows that VOC solvents emissions in the EU have stabilized since 2018.
