During the meeting, ACA gave an overview of their memberships' concerns regarding the upcoming compliance deadlines for the industrial use of PIP (3:1) as an intermediate in cyanoacrylate adhesives, and in end use in adhesives and sealants. ACA presented on the worker protection measures that their membership currently has in place. ACA also requested that in the upcoming TSCA section 6(h) rulemaking that was indicated in the March 8, 2022 Compliance Date Extension, EPA consider excluding from prohibition uses of PIP (3:1) on which it had previously not made any determinations, specifically; use as a precursor in marine antifouling coating and in intumescent coatings applied to buildings to prolong fire resistance time.
