Sustainability at PFINDER

Living up to our responsibilities—today and tomorrow.

PFINDER Safety Score

The “PFINDER SAFETY SCORE” (PSS) provides an initial indication of the level of hazard posed by a product. The hazard-relevant properties are grouped according to the application and evaluation of the criteria “Hazardous physical-chemical properties” (SAFETY), “Human toxicity” (HEALTH), and “Environmental hazard” (ENVIRONMENT).

The PFINDER SAFETY SCORE is displayed on all our product information, making it immediately clear at a glance whether and in which of the categories mentioned special considerations apply.

The UBA’s Sustainable Chemistry Guidelines serve as the basis for this.
