Document Repository
WHAT IS THE DOCUMENT REPOSITORY?
The Document Repository is a library of reports and documents containing information of value to companies in the pine chemicals industry.
WHERE DO THE REPORTS COME FROM?
These documents have been contributed by industry organizations such as the Pine Chemicals Association (PCA) and the Hydrocarbon and Rosin Resin Producers Association (HARRPA) sector group of CEFIC, individual member companies and outside groups under contract to the organizations or companies. They may also be public documents of use to the industry.
WHAT TYPES OF REPORTS ARE INCLUDED?
The reports encompass physical property, environmental, toxicity and skin sensitization tests; end use information; risk analyses; technical and engineering studies; standard test methods and other information concerning turpentine, tall oil fatty acids and rosin and their derivatives.
WHO CAN VIEW THE REPORTS?
Access to a report is variable and is at the discretion of the contributing organization. Some documents may have full access to the public and can be located during an Internet search. For some reports, only the summary is open to the public and the full report can be accessed only after permission from the President of the PCA or his designee. Most restricted are the reports open only to persons with a password.
HOW DO I GET ACCESS PRIVILEGES TO VIEW THE DOCUMENT REPOSITORY?
To gain access to all parts of the Repository you must be part of the personnel of a PCA member company, a designated PCA consultant or a member of a sister organization such as HARRPA. You must have a password that allows specific access privileges to the Document Repository. To obtain a password to the Repository, please click on the following link, complete the registration for Employee of a Member Company and submit it to the PCA.
If a report summary has been located through an Internet search and the searcher has no access privileges, he will not be allowed to download the full report. He can request access to the report from the President of the PCA or his designee. If such access is given it will be specific to the requested report and only for a limited time period.
All reports that are deemed confidential will have a warning appended to each page: “This report is the confidential property of the Pine Chemicals Association, the HARRPA Sector Group of CEFIC and/or one or more of its members. Unauthorized reproduction or distribution of it is prohibited.”
HOW DO I FIND REPORTS IN THE DOCUMENT REPOSITORY?
When you click on the “Enter the Document Repository” button at the top or bottom of this page you will be taken to the initial search page where you can choose from a “Document Search” or simply “Browse the Repository.”
HOW DOES THE “SEARCH DOCUMENTS” WORK?
You can search for any words or phrases that might occur in a report by typing them into the empty field of the Search bar that is located in the left toolbar of this page and clicking on the “Search” button. This will bring up all the summaries or abstracts of all reports containing the word or phrase somewhere in the document. If you wish to see a full report, (and you have signed in with your password) simply click on the link to “View Report” and it will be downloaded as a PDF file to your computer.

Action: Reassessment of nine inert exemptions from the requirement of tolerance. The reassessment decision is to maintain each of the nine inert tolerance exemptions ''as-is.''
Chemical (as Listed in 40 CFR 180): Calcium salt of partially dimerized rosin, conforming to 21 CFR 172.210; Pentaerythritol ester of maleic anhydride modified wood rosin; Rosin, dark wood (as defined in 21 CFR 178.3870(a)(1)(v)); Rosin, gum; Rosin, partially dimerized (as defined in 21 CFR 172.615); Rosin, partially hydrogenated (as defined in 21 CFR 172.615); Rosin, tall oil; Rosin, wood; and, Sodium of salt of the insoluble fraction of rosin.
CFR: 40 CFR part 180.910 and 40 CFR part 180.920
Use Summary: Commercially, rosins and rosin derivatives are used in paper sizing, printing inks, tackifiers, and adhesives. As inert ingredients in pesticide formulations, rosins and rosin derivatives are used in coating agents, plasticizers, surfactants, and related adjuvants of surfactants.

HARRPA revision 4, 27th March 2012 - ^ Abstract:
This study was designed to determine the median effective loading (EL50) of Tall Oil [distilled tall oil], CAS No. 8002-26-4 by exposing Daphnia under static conditions to solutions prepared as Water Accommodated Fractions (WAF) at different loading rates. This study was performed based on procedures in OECD (1984) Guideline 202 Part 1 for Testing of Chemicals and following procedures in OECD (2000) Guidance Document No. 23 on Testing Difficult Substances. Tall oil, a dark brown liquid, is a poorly soluble complex mixture. The method of preparation was selected to maximise the solubility of the test item under specific test exposure conditions, but reduce exposure of the test organism to insoluble fractions. The effects of both filtering and adjusting pH were investigated in the range finding test. For both the range finding and definitive-limit tests, the test item was prepared and tested at a temperature appropriate to the test organisms as WAF, up to a maximum...
