Sasol aims to meet the evolving needs of customers by providing products fit-for-safe and sustainable use. Although many of Sasol’s products are not classified as hazardous, or classified only for acute potential health effects e.g. irritation, we continuously review known applications of all our products to improve its SHE impact with the objective of preventing unacceptable risks to life and environment. We remain committed to innovate for safe and sustainable alternatives.
Designing safe products
Our commitment to providing a safe and competitive product portfolio involves an ongoing review process. Through our global team of Sasol experts, we proactively and continuously scan regulations, screen peer-reviewed scientific research on chemical safety, and engage in product development. This enables us to anticipate any legal changes that may impact products ahead of formal regulatory adoption.
Toluene free Thinners
Sasol Chemicals has introduced a safer, internally sourced hydrocarbon to replace toluene in our thinner solvent formulations. This innovation enhances health and environmental safety, supports sustainability, and reduces reliance on external raw materials - delivering smarter, more responsible solutions.
Development of a Phthalate-Free Polypropylene Polymer Grade
In response to evolving product understanding and customer demand, Sasol Chemicals developed and commercialised a phthalate-free polypropylene grade. This innovation aligns with global safety standards and supports safer applications in sensitive industries.
Sasol’s International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) PLUS certifications
