Keywords: HONG YE SILICONE, EU REACH, D4 D5 limit, silicone sealant export compliance

 

Summary: The European Commission releases Regulation (EU) 2026/1389, capping combined D4 and D5 content below 0.1% for all silicone sealants starting Oct 1, 2026. HONG YE SILICONE completes full product testing ahead of the deadline.

 

Details: The new supplementary REACH rule targets sealing products for construction, rail transit and new energy equipment, requiring batch test reports and conformity declaration for every shipment to EU member states, otherwise cargoes will be detained at customs. HONG YE SILICONE modifies the formula of all industrial and construction silicone sealants to reduce cyclic siloxane residues, and compiles standardized certification documents to support barrier-free customs clearance for European clients.
