Impact EC F Gas Regulation (EC 842/2006) and Proposed Global Warming Limits on Vacuum Web Coating Operations

Presented by James Stenhouse

The impact of current and proposed EU legislation has far reaching irrespective of the age of plant. For users and manufacturers of coating plant recent proposals to limit the maximum global warming potential of refrigerant gases poses some important questions. Including the probable impact on production arising from restricted refrigerant availability and consequential implications for capital plant expenditure.

The presentation provides:
• Overview of the plant effected
• Key milestones and refrigerants impacted
• Options to mitigate adverse impacts
• Commercial decisions.

All vacuum metallisers must now move decisively, review their operations and address the issues arising in a structured manner, or put their businesses at risk.
