Furthermore, Environment Canada issued two ministerial conditions restricting uses of phenol, methylstyrenated (CAS# 68512-30-1) as a component in epoxy-based coatings. The ministry suspects this substance of being toxic or capable of becoming toxic within the meaning of section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). Restrictions are effective as of January 8, 2019.
