Chemical Watch 2023 Global Outlook

War, plague, famine, and inflation. The four horsemen of the apocalypse continue to ride across the globe and the signs of a looming recession are growing as companies and governments decide how to weather the approaching storm.

The principles behind the membrane-based separation technology. Examples of applications for single and multistage extraction in the context of flow chemistry. Advantages of this technology for batch processing. Listen and learn about tools, strategies, and methods for assessing the formulation, drug delivery, and manufacturing potential of a drug candidate in the pre-clinical phase as well as implications for timelines, API materials, and budgets.

Performing hazard analyses are critical to safe operation in any chemically based operation or experiment. Often, engineers are approached with proposals for chemicals that have not been used in a company or research group previously. One ready reference to begin a hazard analysis is the careful review of the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the chemical of interest. Surprisingly, the terms used in a MSDS are not fully understood. This webinar focuses on MSDS terms related to physical properties, flammability, and toxicity, explaining their definitions. Further, the webinar covers how to incorporate these data into any hazard analysis.

The webinar covered the following: An update on China regulations, including food contact materials, biocides, and the trend of increased enforcement; A summary of Taiwan Chemical Substances Control Act (TCSCA) and Korea REACH (K-REACH), along with recent amendments affecting the chemical and other industries (e.g., food ingredients industry); A definition of key terms and implications, such as “substances of concern” in Taiwan CSCA; Any other country-specific regulatory nuances, such as confidential business information (CBI); and, Important regulatory deadlines.
