Safe and secure thanks to RoHS2 compliance
We use phthalate esters as plasticizers to soften hoses made of PVC resin, but do not use phthalate esters whose use is restricted in RoHS2 (revised RoHS). Therefore, all of our "standard hoses and TOYOCONNECTOR couplings" comply with the current RoHS as well as RoHS2 (Revised RoHS), which will be applied starting July 22, 2019.
Manufacturer marking
Our hoses made of PVC resin have manufacturer markings that show that they comply with RoHS2 (revised RoHS).
Marking examples
Issuing certificates
You can download the "Chemicals Containment Survey Report" that certifies that the hoses do not contain restricted substances specified in RoHS2 (revised RoHS).
