The first proionic product is successfully certified by OEKO-TEX®, stating that 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIM-OAc) can be used for the human-ecological optimized textile & leather production in accordance with OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT.
OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT is an independent, multi-stage testing and certification system for chemicals, colourants and auxiliaries used to manufacture textiles and leather.
The results of the test of proionic’s EMIM-OAc prove that there are no harmful substances in critical concentrations as listed in the ECO PASSPORT standard.
Further it is verified that EMIM-OAc meets specific requirements for safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Included with this, conformity in accordance with EN ISO 17050-1 was declared as required by OEKO-TEX.
Julia Zelenka, Certified Quality Manager:
"As this certification system is designed for manufacturers of process chemicals and chemical compounds, it was the next logical step for proionic to achieve this certificate in underlining proionic’s green CBILS® production process. Furthermore, this label also gives transparent proof of which items meet the criteria for ecologically responsible textile and leather manufacture.”
