PCB-free color

Development of pigments, dyes, paints, inks, or other methods of adding color to products that do not contain unintentional undesirable residuals/contaminants including PCBs and do not create undesirable byproducts including PCBs during the manufacturing process. These proposed products could employ processes that include innovative technologies for coloration such as biomimicry and structural color that do not require traditional pigments, dyes, paints, and inks or the generation of unintentional undesirable byproducts including PCBs. EPA is especially interested in supporting the development of new products that would meet the criteria for certification by EPA's Safer Choice program: https://www.epa.gov/saferchoice.
