摘要

The silicone industry is stuck between outdated regulations of decades past and overbearing, ineffective rules that reach well beyond what studies have determined are necessary.That's the view of Tim Gregory, a member of the Environmental Health and Safety Council of North America and EHS engineer for Shin-Etsu Silicones of America. Gregory described the regulatory climate in a speech at the International Silicone Conference, held May 1-2 in Fairlawn, Ohio.
