the powder coating industry needs to take the following measures：

　　2311271015 欧盟在2021年8月5日发布了一项新的法规，修订了REACH附件XVII，将原来针对全氟辛酸 (PFOA) 的限制扩大到了9~14个碳原子的全氟羧酸 (C9-C14 PFCAs) 及其盐类和相关物质，这些物质被认为是高度持久的，对环境和人类健康有潜在的危害。

　　这项新的法规将于2023年2月25日生效，届时，欧盟将禁止生产、使用或投放市场含有C9-C14 PFCAs 及其盐类和相关物质的物质、混合物和物品，除非满足一定的条件和豁免。

　　这对于粉末涂料行业来说是一个巨大的挑战，因为粉末涂料中常用的一些添加剂，如消泡剂、砂纹剂等，都含有全氟或多氟烃基类物质 (PFASs)，这些物质可以提供良好的涂层性能，如防水、防油、防污、耐磨、耐腐蚀等。

　　为了应对欧盟的含氟材料的限制，粉末涂料行业需要采取以下一些措施：

　　1. 及时了解欧盟的法规动态，关注限制的范围、条件和豁免，评估自身的产品是否受到影响，做好合规准备。

　　2. 积极寻找替代方案，开发和使用不含或含量低于限制标准的含氟材料，或者使用其他类型的添加剂，如硅烷、砂纹剂等，以保证涂层的性能和质量。

　　3. 加强与上下游合作伙伴的沟通和协调，共同应对欧盟的含氟材料的限制，减少风险和损失，提高市场竞争力。

　　On August 5, 2021, the European Union issued a new regulation revising Annex XVII of the REACH, expanding the restrictions on perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) to perfluorooctanoic acids (C9-C14 PFCAs) with 9-14 carbon atoms and their salts and related substances, which are considered highly persistent and potentially harmful to the environment and human health.

　　This new regulation will come into effect on February 25, 2023. At that time, the EU will prohibit the production, use, or placement on the market of substances, mixtures, and items containing C9-C14 PFCAs, their salts, and related substances, unless certain conditions and exemptions are met.

　　This is a huge challenge for the powder coating industry, as some commonly used additives in powder coatings, such as defoamers, sanding agents, etc., contain perfluorinated or polyfluorocarbon based substances (PFASs), which can provide good coating performance, such as waterproofing, oil resistance, stain resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc.

　　In order to address the restrictions on fluorinated materials in the European Union, the powder coating industry needs to take the following measures:

　　1. Timely understand the regulatory dynamics of the European Union, pay attention to the scope, conditions, and exemptions of restrictions, evaluate whether one's own products are affected, and prepare for compliance.

　　2. Actively seek alternative solutions, develop and use fluorine-containing materials that do not contain or have a content lower than the limit standards, or use other types of additives, such as silane and sanding agents, to ensure the performance and quality of the coating.

　　3. Strengthen communication and coordination with upstream and downstream partners, jointly address the limitations of fluorinated materials in the European Union, reduce risks and losses, and improve market competitiveness.
